Default I have always wanted a Lotus Europa, but I LOVE my A6. Behold: EuropA6!

My friend (Jamo you'll remember him; the drug addict guy Carl?) knows this and had my A6 fixed up to give me the best of both worlds.

Looks like the guy who did the body work went through a whole pack of Newport's, he better not have been smoking <i>inside</i> the EuropA6.

The bondo hasn't been sanded down smooth yet around the headlights. Damn, back to incandescent lights!

:-)

No, I've always enjoyed that pseudo-pickup look

Good looking but where does the engine go?.....4.2 in back seat for Europa style handling?

Default C'mon, LM, you know you wouldn't fit in a Europa.

Neither would I or most grown ups!

Default Exactly, thus the EuropA6 is born! Actually, I do

fully intend to someday squeeze myself into <i>my</i> Europa. When I am in it, I will not be an adult - part of why I want one I guess. Hey if I can jam into these reportedly miniature Sport Seats on the A6 I should fit in anything......right? You're right though, I couldn't fit into a Europa, but I could damned sure fit a Europa around me.

After the opening histrionics are over, I am seriously considering one of them thar Bee-Em-Dubbya Mini's. If that's what happens, I'll just live with my dreams of the Lotus that might've been.....
