Title: Everything you need to know about Lotus
Post by: BDA on Tuesday,September 28, 2021, 12:27:51 PM
I saw this a while ago and was reminded of it by the lotuseuropa groups.io list. It's a pretty good history of Lotus (given it's only 20 minutes long!).

If you're looking to be entertained and possibly informed for 20 minutes, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3EfNfE8pCU

Not easy to list everything of note in 20 mins.

A few howlers such as talking about the Renault engined Europa with a view of the big valve TC engine on Dellorto carbs.

That was hard to watch but, I give him credit for the effort...a little less on trying to make it funny and more factual content would be better.

Then there's 'sodering' . . as in sodering an electrical connection.
I don't know why . .

British English pronounces the L in solder, as in sold. Americans say sodder. It's another difference between the same language!

Many countries divided by a common language.

Odd ain't it.
Americans pronounce 'soldier' the same way as anyone else.

It is interesting to see the subtle differences in the English language on this forum from the different continents ... ???

 :I-agree:

Gawd, that guy is irritating! Despite massive evidence to the contrary, not all of us Americans are like that guy... really.
