    What is the funniest/most stupid comment you ever got? [Part 6]   
Welcome to "What is the funniest/most stupid comment you ever got?" part 6.  For those of you new to this thread this is the on place to put all the crazy, silly, funny, mean, cool, jealous and just down right stupid comments people make to us when we're out with our loves.  This saves us from having hundreds of separate "He then asked who make Lotus" and "how much does it cost?"

So with that said have at it.  Normal forum rules apply obviously - so within the confines of that whatcya got for us all???  Oh and for reference here are the previous five WISFMSCYEG thread

    Black Beauty   
I noticed that the number of my posts on LT has reached the production number of our Europa.  So why not a tribute post to her?

Attachment 299210 (http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/attachments/f120/299210-black-beauty-dsc_0008-9inches-w.jpg)

I fell in love with the Europa as a 16 year old in 1972, when Emerson Fittipaldi won the F1 championship in a Lotus 72. Ahh the JPS, the black and gold!

My father was an automobile dealer. When I was about 17 we were at a Ford dealer and a JPS sat there in the parking lot.

    Ever seen a Lotus shipped on a passanger plane? Check this out   
Someone I know on Facebook that works at an airport saw this come out of a Virgin Atlantic flight at the Dulles Airport near Washington DC. Apparently has no miles on it. The picture kind of sucks but I figure someone here would recognize it. Anyone?

    New 2Bular Evora S Exhaust - Awesome!!! (new video added)   
I have to admit the standard MY12 Evora S exhaust sounds good, very good in fact but I always knew when I bought the car I wanted better. I had already been talking to Jim about developing an exhaust for the Exige V6 when I had it on order until I switched over to the Evora S (still not regretting that decision  :D  ).

Anyway as the systems are pretty much the same Jim started work on the exhaust to get it to me in-time for my run-in service. So back in May the headers, downpipe and version 1(I'll get to version 2) of the exhaust back box turned up at MMC for fitting:
