Yeah, didn't even notice - normally flick through but managed to miss this one...

Looks like its a good Lotus issue... Not impressed with the Elise review though, but then i supose the driving conditions were crap and its not exactly way different to the old version which they've already reviewed.

Strange that it's not included.

The coverage of the Exige was real bad in their road and track DVD as well.

Its a pretty poor production to be honest - theyre better of sticking to the mag! As said, the Exige coverage was basically nothing which is really what I wanted out of the DVD.

probably cos the Exige is owned by Meaden, same as Barker's Capri and isn't a long term test car like rest of them (except the Lambo and the Ferrari which were the real crux of the fast fleet story).

The Exige is a fast fleet long termer though. The reason why it wasn't included was because the Mustnag which Meaden also runs has just had its Roush suspension goodies fitted.
