   I’m sorry about how this article is displayed, the file was 8.4 mg and there was no link to the website. I received it from an email. See pics.

Wouldn’t that be a first since the 7? I think they should reconsider.

I’ve often wondered, is there a specific reason for names beginning with ‘E’? Or is just a matter of setting into a groove until it became traditional?
The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

I think they should stick with E names.  The SUV could be the Lotus Excess, or perhaps the Lotus Elephant.

I think Chapman got up to the Type Eleven, liked the name and started naming them all with "E". I could be mistaken :)

    That would be a great name, Elephant. For which the direction of geely would go!

I hope that changes. I think we’ve had enough from Wuhan.

Maybe we should make the distinction between British designed and built Loti and Chinese Loti…

The 7 came after the Eleven, so I don't think that's where it started.  From what I recall it was the Elite that started Chapman on the "E" names.

Maybe they can call it the Emballonuridae...

I'm sure they are agile little critters.

Better Batmobile than COVIDCar or Spike Utility Vehicle!
