just saw a pretty red Evora on Desperate Housewives which is nice. 'Bout time they got a bit of air time, they really are great looking cars.













... no doubt the repost police will be along soon.

Very flattering placement for Lotus - it was a whole story line in itself, and depicted as "damn, I want this car".

For those of you who don't want to find out the story line, look away now(!)


Lynnette Scarvo (sp?) tried to convince Tom that Carlos was the sort of businessman who wouldn't let friendship stand in the way of success.

So she rang up the Lotus dealership and booked a test-drive of the Evora, having it delivered to Carlos' drive - making Tom think he'd just bought the car. Tom was VERY jealous of the exotic, but found out he'd been conned. He demanded he and Lynette take it back to the dealer immediately, but once he got in the car was smitten ("this is AMAZING"). A quick drive to the dealer turned into a long detour (lots of engine noise and the car disappearing off into the distance).
