Non Lotus story... Sorry!
I was parking my car in our local town. Nice day.. Hood down posing weather. A guy who was passing with his misses remarked on the **** with the ''useless'' car which had no room whatsoever etc. I just gave him a somewhat surprised look before informing him the car in fact had quite a lot of boot space etc, and had not one but two boots which I opened remotely and showed him. He was gobsmacked and asked where the engine was. I told him I had no idea as I had not found it yet..
He was truly stunned and wandered off scratching his nut!
