Oh come on now, it's not a Lotus Mini. If Lotus made it, it'd be an A Stock car.

Yea what is it with that? Is it just the name? I rode in a "new" Lotus Elan
last weekend. Front wheel drive, 1.6 liter, radio nice seats, the whole
kool-car-but-still-street deal. Nice putt but not BStock S2000 240 HP
performance. And its an ASP, not classifiable as a stock car!? Did poor
Colin do something to those folks or what?
