[s-cars] NAC-lotus Elise at stealership

[Daniel Hussey]

Speaking of Elise...  I saw two Spec-R Elises and a Lotus 340R at Park Place
when I was there for a Porsche Club meet last Friday.  I know they drive the
340R on the street here and so I asked owner David Bingham how they get away
with driving it all over the place...  His response...  "It's amazing what
you can do with a set of dealer plates"...  ;^)

Works for me.

Later,
