Michele: I don't know what happened. We were getting ready to go out on a mission and she just broke out in these horrible hives! Can you help her Doc?

Bianchi: I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. I'll have to examine her so you just go on back to the office complex, I'll contact you when we're done.

Michele reluctantly leaves. As soon as he is gone Dr. Bianchi reaches out, touches one of Kara's "hives" and tastes his finger.

Bianchi: Strawberry jam?

Kara: Doctor, you don't understand! He wanted me to ride in an '86 Buick LeSabre! With vinyl seats...VINYL SEATS!

Epilogue (maybe)...

For trying to shirk her way out of a mission, Kara is sentenced by Michele to an afternoon of washing, polishing & waxing the '86 LeSabre (which is made easier since Helen already has the hose rolled out to wash Salvatore's AMC Eagle)...including a coat of Armor-All for the vinyl seats. Marisa sees an opportunity to tease her older sister...

Marisa: (writhing on the grass in mock-pain) IT BURNS! THE NASTY CRUEL VINYL BURNS...TAKES IT OFF US, PRECIOUS!

Kara: (already in a bad mood) Are you comparing me to Gollum, twerp? (turns the hose on Marisa)

Marisa: Aaarrrghhh! *cough* That's cold! *cough*

Kara: (smug grin) I thought you liked water?

Jethro: Alright, I'll go arrange our ferry transportation, you park the car.

Monty: Skipper, need I remind you that we have an arrangement. You do the driving, I control the radio. I'm not even licensed.

Jethro: Damn it Monty, we haven't got time for this. I need to get these ferry tickets...I'm not asking much, just please put the car in a parking spot, I know you're capable of that.

Monty: Alright, fair's fair I suppose.

Later...

Monty: Well that was easier than I thought. Perhaps I'll help you with the driving more often.

Jethro:

No...no, that's fine luv.

if you want class and neck breaking speed,

The Lotus 125 is an exclusive ultra high performance F1™ inspired race-car complete with Cosworth 3.5 litre GP V8 engine producing 640bhp linked to a six-speed semi automatic gearbox with paddle shift.

A bespoke carbon composite with nomex and aluminium core chassis with carbon composite panels contribute to a super light weight of just 560kg resulting in a phenomenal power to weight ratio of nearly 1000 hp per tonne.

Unlike a Formula One car however, an army of technicians and mechanics is not required to start the engine and keep the car running. The start button is all the driver needs to press to get going.

Purchasers of the Lotus 125 will be able to chose from a stylization of a classic Lotus livery, the Exos (explained below) concept design, or as an option, request their own, bespoke livery.

The Exos* Experience by Lotus

The Exos Experience, initiated and operated by Lotus Motorsport, is an elite club. A club in which the limited number of Lotus 125 owner drivers can refine their driving skills and challenge themselves in Formula 1™ inspired technology combined with expert one-to-one advice from former Grand Prix drivers and trainers.

The ‘Exos Experience by Lotus’ is a new concept for these most exclusive owners and members to improve their race craft and engineering prowess, learn how to set-up a car working with a race engineer, focus on mental and physical fitness and enjoy a driving experience quite literally out-of-this-world.

A team of engineers, aerodynamicists, tyre specialists and experts from every field have the specific aim of delivering the optimum performance vehicle. But it is not just the performance of the vehicle which will be optimised, the driver will be brought up to a high level through an F1 level fitness programme including nutrition, strength and fitness training and through driver training from former Lotus F1 drivers to raise the customers’ skill levels to F1 standard.

A member of the Exos Experience will be offered an elite concierge service for track based activity including assisting with travel arrangements and transfers to the track enabling the owner to begin their experience as smoothly as possible. The dedicated Lotus Exos concierge will act as a central point of contact for all arrangements and communications covering all official documentation and special requests.
