    Stop the inane practice of replacing perfectly serviceable letters with numerals and considering them acceptable substitutes! It's SEVEN with a V!


    What does it achieve? Nothing! the letter V does everything perfectly and contains no extraneous frippery. Much like a Seven in fact.....

    @dusteruk: As I recall, replacing the "V" with a "7" is actually done for a specific reason as it determines which of a few variations of the original Lotus Seven we're talking about. I believe the Caterhams are correctly referred to as Se7ens, while the Lotus models are the Sevens.

    I will have a Se7en some day. Then I will drive it across the Atlantic to LeMans.


    You don't think it can drive across the Atlantic? It's a frickin' Se7en! It can do anything!

    Whenever I see "Sagaris" I sort of imagine a combination of Bob Saget and Dave Sedaris. The car is simultaneously dirty and edgy, yet boring and monotone. Not in reality, but in my anthropomorphizing imagination.

    It's sad that I've now completely mentally replaced "LeMans" with "LeMons". I was kinda stoked to see someone drove a TVR to a LeMons race.


    Woulda been more stoked if they'd entered it.


    That said, those TVRs are damn sexy looking things. Something about hot cars like that, they're like sexy women. Still look good, even when you cover them with mud.


    Or pudding.


    Mmmm, pudding...
