vErnon B. sArnE

Let’s give Chris Evans

a chance. The Jeremy

Clarkson era is over

now. It is what it is.

PAulo rAfAEl suBido

The Aston Martin

Vanquish may well be

the most awe-inspiring

car I’ve ever driven.

stEPhAniE Asi-dE CAstro

We shot our Lotus

cover in a hangar com-

pound. Can’t wait to see

those cars on the track.

dinzo tABAMo

I wanted to try a Lotus

Elise the first time I

saw it in the metal.

I hope I’ll fit inside.

trACy CArPEnA

Blimey, we’re witness-

ing a British automo-

tive invasion! Exciting

times for car shoppers!

JAson dElA Cruz

I’m fond of Lotus

and its lightweight

philosophy. Nice to

have the brand here.

ElAinE lArA

We should use heli-

copters more often

for cover shoots.

#WeLikeThemEpic

rAynAnd olArtE

Taiwan is no united

Kingdom, but the cars

we shot there more

than made up for it.
