Actually, it was a Spitfire - they took an exec from
Japan through the mountains in the Spit to convince
him that there was a big gap in the market for a
small, affordable fun convertible. But the model was
the Lotus Elan - they stuck an Elan next to it in the
design studio, hence my license plate "ROTUS".
For the BRG part, my Bugeye is "New Racing Green",
which I like a lot. Check it out if you can.
