lippydave Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Lotus special edition..... Freddie special.... What will this do for the heritage of those err, batting for the other "7" team? Soon to be followed by the Jimmy Sommerville Elise, and the Marc Almond Elan...... The potential viability of the Larry Grayson edition 2-11 was stunted by the lack of doors..... "Shut that...err, oh, erm...." Quote
SteveD Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 nowt wrong with being gay ,what would you say if they had done a k d lang edition or barbera streisand edition freddie was a lot more than a gay bloke ,he was one of the biggest front men of one of the biggest groups of all time they also did a harrods edition elise which is for sale at the moment ,looks like s**t to me but someone must love it Quote
lippydave Posted September 3, 2011 Author Posted September 3, 2011 nowt wrong with being gay Never said there was Shirley..... Wonder if it comes with or without driver aids? Apparently setup with a loose back-end for backing it in....etc,etc..... Quote

Smacks of desperate marketing by a clueless bunch of tw8ts... Whatever he was, (frontman of a rock super group) he wasn't a driving icon was he Sandra? Quote

SteveD Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 i quite like the colour scheme ,think it looks fine Quote
davidgh Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Lotus special edition.....for the heritage of those err, batting for the other "7" team Looks like good niche marketing to me. More than 10% of males are (supposedly) of that persuasion. The Evora positioned as a gay icon might multiply sales substantially... Quote
Mark Stanton Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Can I have butter on my popcorn please Barry I saw Queen 3 times over the years ........ great band got most of their albums but only motor connection was the photo in the Jazz album of all those ladies on bikes at a well known Midlands circuit Quote
Danp07 Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 If it is a bit of a gay link, Perhaps they mean you can only get in the vehicle from the back door, Quote
lippydave Posted September 3, 2011 Author Posted September 3, 2011 For the record (sic)....I admire Queen (the band) musically, and Bryan May (he of the poodle head) is one of rock's all time great guitarists.... I also think it's a nice charitable gesture by Lotus to offer something for auction.... Buuuuut in all seriousness what the devil has some dead gay singer got to do with the Evora? Lotus have lost the plot....and opened themselves up to a barrage of gay/Freddie/camp jokes....It's what we do surely if something is seen to be ridiculous, stupid or innapropriate in a pathetically idotic kind of a way? Be it gay straight, black, white, male or female...Ridiculessness is always a healthy target for cynicism, sterotypical jokes and bad humour IMO... Quote
