John, I am stoked that you got your S2 back- Chip only seems to steal cars for the TV biz. I have
been watching, and many other than here were passing out some pretty harsh pre-judgement,
and didn't do much homework on their target; one of his early cars that "put him on the map" as
something other than Sam Foose's son (I'd be proud of that myself!) was his early car "Hemisphear"
Which has a fully independent suspension he designed 20 odd years ago. I was pretty sure he
didn't misunderstand Colin Chapman's intent- and you got to drive it!  >:D mysmallwheels

John,

Can't compete with Leno's capabilities, but happy to lend you my GoPro.

That autocross looks fun, it's not something I've ever done myself and I'm not sure I'd cope either - I got dizzy trying to watch the cones as you flew round !

thanks for posting.

Dean,  i subscribed to your channel a while ago, the ones where you were building the Europa.  will you be making more of them? my buddies and i got a kick out of them.

Joe,  would you have a chance to post pictures of the area to the rear of the door windows?  that area looks like a vent/scoop/ 3 window?  would love to understand that better

The area behind the side windows in front to the side scoops is just painted black

We are working on a short documentary about our '61 Warwick GT.  It seems to have consumed all  of our video energy for the time being.  Hope to get that wrapped up and then back to Lotus silliness.

John, Was that video taken the same day as the previous one or is it you driving off into the sunset after more sorting was done?
