Missed it. Took 4 minutes for my Virgin cable box to boot up. Colossal POS!!! >:( >:( >:(

Must admit the Lotus Carlton still look nice :y
-
just caught the end of the VXr run and the Lotus one.....
I think she was enjoying getting her end away (as it were!) to compete properly..... :D

Well, you should have read my post Quick!!! ;D
Tell you what, the VXR8 only marginally quicker than the carlton :o

That Lotus Carlton belongs to the Vauxhall Heritage Centre and may still have it's boost turned down (I think they've been having a few problems with it).
Would have been interesting to see the same lap in the dry.

that'd be two places filled in my dream garage ;D ;D

Absolutely. Comparing cars in the wet is pretty meaningless really, but if you insist on taking them to Anglessey... ::)
In the wet it could have been down to the choice of tyres. Still, good to see a LC being put through its' paces.

Lotus Carlton still has such presence.... Still looks the business nearly 20 years later.
Just say the LC beat the VXR.... Do you really think Vauxhall would let 5th gear broadcast that?
Nearly 20 years of chassis development, tyre development, traction control (LC didn't have any).........

a woman up the road from me had a LC that was rumored to be pushing out 500 bhp true or not don't know, but the sound as it passed made the hairs on my neck stand on end

Just had a look on the 5th Gear web site & no mention of it being repeated, searched the vids too, the only one i could find was the VXR8 on it's own.
I'll let you know if i see it's going to be shown again :y

Brings back memories. Helped a mate of mine renovate one of them once. Took some convincing to start . It went eventually, after I towed him up and down his road a couple of times behind my Mum's Volvo 340 :o
