I have driven two Lotus Carltons but have never owned one, never lived with one and as they werent mine; never really kicked its head in enough to know how good the car actually was. I would therefore not try to give a comparison to my RS6...........
My old TVR was exciting........I think? On the other hand it could be that it was just downright dangerous? Is there a difference? Is the difference between an exciting car and a dull car just the fact that they have been developed properly and have the handling and set up to control the power properly? 
i have driven a rs6, and been in a new one, but never a lotus carlton, i feel ive missed out

I test drove a new RS6 but like I say, wasnt my car, couldnt kick its head in and wasnt in it for more than 30 mins..........how can I give an honest judgement on it? Go off what Ive heard on the net? I think not!

Escos goes down the road I'll look for as long as I can, they have so much road presence and they're just cool as fuck, I'd love one
100% agree.

would love one some day.
There is one round here in the Aubergene colour with out the big whale tail spoiler but a nice small lip.
Would be one to have as it belongs to the widow of Mr Duckworth (half of cosworth).
Its a mint one and she drives so slowly its untrue but i van imagine it would be worth quite a bit.

Davey, could you please refrain from ruining yet another thread 
Back to escort cosworths........
If you bought a useable one. I.e one that isnt kept in a heated garage with 1zillion bhp.
a: Would it get stolen if you kept it on the drive
b. would it turn to a pile of orange dust if you kept it on the drive?
c. Would Jr be able to sleep if i bought one and kept it outside on the drive in the rain??
