Lotus Exige S Stars In The European Movie Premiere Of Red2

The stars were in alignment on Monday night for the European premier of ‘RED 2’.

 

 

 

The Empire cinema was the venue for the much anticipated premier of the sequel to ‘RED’ (Retired Extremely Dangerous) and the excitement from the crowds was tangible. London’s Leicester Square was transformed to stage the exclusive VIP spectacle with a red carpet stretching across the iconic London hot-spot.

The assembled fans went crazy for Hollywood hard-man Bruce Willis and his on-screen love interest Mary-Louise Parker, and Britain’s own Helen Mirren simply sparked on the red carpet. All three cast members took time to sign autographs and take interviews to promote action-comedy penned by the hilarious Hoeber brothers.

The premier was screened for a ‘by invitation only’ audience attended by celebrities, contributors and media. We had the opportunity to send two lucky competition winners along and they trod the red carpet alongside Brit award winning band ‘Blake’, singer/songwriter Katie Melua, BBC’s Sarah Jane Crawford and singer/model Leah Weller all of whom were in the audience.

All who saw the film commented on the pace, the laughs and the incredible stunts; what was clear though was that the car was the star! The sequence with the Laser Blue Exige S was a real stand out with many commenting that the scene where Mirren’s character Victoria holds twin Glock 34's and fires out of both windows during a 360 degree drift as their favourite moment in the movie. We agree! You can judge for yourselves on August 2nd when the film goes on general release.

  • S1 Elise (Rover/111S Hybrid) Running Rich: High CO & Unstable Idle on Emerald ECU

    Hi. I am the owner of a Rover-engined Elise S1, and I am having several combustion-related issues. I bought the car 2 years ago. Right from the start, I was surprised by how much carbon soot it produced and how unstable the idle was, to the point of stalling if I wasn't quick enough to give it some gas. The previous owner told me everything was fine, so I assumed it was just a simple fault. The following year, I took it for its ITV (the Spanish MOT) and saw the emissions test results: CO at

    Elise S3 speakers

    Any recommendations for speakers to replace the OEM ones in an S3 Elise? Currently have the in-dash fronts only but want to fit rear ones also. Got a new stereo (Power Acoustic CP-71W) ready to fit once I get the car back from the suspension investigation and wanting to do the speakers too, think adding the rears will improve the sound and what I can hear, esp when the roof is off. Have updated the stereo firmware already so it does Android Auto as well as Apple CarPlay now

    My first Lotus - Elise S Cup Toxic Green

    Hello everyone, I've been meaning to get around to starting this thread here as a bit of an introduction as a new member but also to document my ownership journey. I've had a fairly long history with cars over the years, some highlights being fairly active in the WV water cooled community for a number of years, G40/G60 converted MK1 Golfs, VR6 converted MK2 Golf, Golf Rallye (I should never have sold it, they're worth a lot now by comparison), E46 M3, S4 Estate, Z4, R32 Golf, C63 estate… an

    Wheel refurb/paint recommendations

    Hi Folks I am looking to have my wheels refurbed. They aren't kerbed or buckled but they are marked and I want to change the colour. Can anyone recommend someone to do them please? Preferably someone trade that doesn't want top dollar. Also, is there anything I need to know about different finishes, processes and so on? For example is powdercoating or painting better? All knowledge and experience gratefully received, thank you 😊   Dean
