I have one of these on the xbox 360 , they handle great

Totally useless in the wet though which is most of the time in England
Not with the recently released road tyres (SO2's )

They even do a hard top for it as well!

Just got an itch for something a bit

It's certainly that, Mike!

(Are we talking as a notional next car? Or something to replace the 06 sometime soon?)

Not cheap if anything goes wrong, from what I recall of evo's time with one on the fast fleet. The carbon fibre shell has to come off to work on it - and if you prang it, the whole shell has to be replaced. Muchos dineros!

Mikey I thought there were only 340 in the world hence why it was called the Lotus 340r
So did I until I did some research apparently there are 360! (less any dead ones)

Seems to be a thriving Yahoo user group for them and plenty of tweaks as well
