A bespoke (hand built engine, the most powerful normally aspirated V8 ever made, and it has a flat plane crankshaft, carbon fibre all over, etc) supercar for only around £70-75K

AND they are making a right-hand drive version as well

This is the first yank car in ages I would consider buying.

New Lotus Elise Sport 240 Final Edition 💚

https://www.rybrook.co.uk/lotus/new-cars/elise-sport-240-final-edition/

 Lotus Elise Sport 240 Final Edition

Going. But not going quietly.

The Elise is as beautifully simple, pleasingly compact and bristling with energy and feedback . Built around an extruded and bonded aluminium chassis, the Elise is the perfect lightweight sports car for the drive. Going. But not going quietly. A host of new features are added to the Final Edition to celebrate its last year of production.

£45,500

Design

The icon, re-invigorated. One of the purest, most engaging sports cars ever built takes a major step forward in the Elise Sport 240 Final Edition. The exposed gearshift is a work of aluminium art in its own right, now as precise and satisfying to use as it is to look at. In its 25th and final year of the production, the Elise is truly looking at its finest.

Performance

The new Elise Sport 240 Final Edition feels nimble and capable, as any Lotus sports car should. Delivering 240bhp, this specially tuned engine provides a balance of performance and class-leading efficiency. To accelerate from 0-60 mph takes just 4.1 seconds thanks to its 257bph/ton power to weight ratio. And the handling just has to be experienced.

Final Edition

For the Final Edition, a host of new features have been added, including unique paint choices, new exterior decals and two new wheel finishes. The biggest changes can be found to the interior, where a new TFT instrument cluster, final edition build plaque, new steering wheel design and new seat trims have been added. Customise your new Elise Sport 240 Final Edition with these intricate and unique details whilst maintaining the core values of this iconic sports car.

Went to an Atlanta United game on Sunday. It was nice that Atlanta won 3-1. It was our first game since the team moved into Mercedes Benz stadium a few season ago. Wow what a spectacular job the owner Arthur Blank did. It seats 75,000 and we were blown away that a soda was just $2 and you can refill it as many times as you want. In the old Georgia Stadium they were $4-$8. Menu items $2-$4, with meals $8-$15. My son looked it up because just a hotdog was $8 before. Arthur Blank leased Georgia Stadium and had no say in concessions. When he had Mercedes Benz built, he did not renew any food vendors and if necessary would have all the food services handled by his people at regular prices. He invited vendors back on one condition, they can only charge the prices they charge at their own chain restaurants. No jacking up the prices at Games. There were plenty of chain restaurants with facilities there. 
 

I have never attended a stadium where we didn’t pay a premium for food and drink. The beer is even reasonable…. but total shit from Coors and the rest. 

that stadium is amazing

and those prices, wow!

that Atlanta United team won the championship a few years back

that Portland team probably has some the craziest footie fans in the states, from what I have seen
