Nobody got hurt but that kid broke that car over and over. At the time I was building surfboards in my parents' basement, so was pretty good with f'glass. It always fell to me to put it back together.Lotus Europa? Man, those things were tiny. You’ve seen me, so you can imagine why those have never been on my automotive radar.
