Am I the only one to notice, but I'm sure that the Venom is based on a stretched LOTUS ELISE body. Come on admit it, it is isn't it.

The Venom is a hand built version of a Lotus. That it goes so fast is a tribute to the tune. I still prefer a Bentley. :snooty:

2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
