    OT - lotus formula 1

    Figured you guys would get a kick out of this, the 2013 Lotus car is called the E21!

    That's all really, unveiling is February as far as I know.

    Be a part of racing history - http://www.gofundme.com/TorMcIlroyRacing2013 and help me race in 2013.

    Kinda b.s.... instagram is now heavily clotted with that car. That's pretty tacky of the r&d team to let that one go. Just think, "that name sounds great" you do it,unveil it, then people google it and up pops a million pictures of the number one selling glass dildos. Aren't there like billions of alphanumeric codes to choose from? Ok end of rant...

    I saw that too...but after vdubvance's post, I realized doing a any search for E21's from now until forever will be soiled with this BS.

    vdubvance has safesearch turned off.

    Just search 'E21 -Lotus' and that should take care of most of the BS.

    Lol. Just a point bro. Like starting a new band and calling it the who. It's a kick to the nuts! It could've been avoided by a simple Google search.

    It's just a coincidence. The team's been at their Enstone facility since the early 90's and this is the 21st car built at their Enstone facility, hence E21.

    This happens from time to time. This year, the Sauber team named their car the C32...Mercedes C32 and in 2011 Ferrari tried to name their car the F150 to celebrate Italy's 150 year anniversary of independance but of course they were threatened with a lawsuit from Ford so they changed the name.
