I assume it's a reference to one of the characters in the above film putting the luggage in the wrong end of the Lotus?

Personally I wanted to know how they made it light enough to handle properly on land, but heavy and strong enough to sink with a pressurised compartment in the driving scenes...

Now then.

I may be wrong on this but as the Esprit is mid engined wasn't there some small space above and behind the engine bay, like the Elise.

You can tell its a lotus as when its under water it starts to leak, a special lotus though as notmally you only need light rain in order to have puddles.

Well, what about the magically shrinking & re-expanding Mustang Mach 1 in (was it??) 'Live & Let Die'?

The one that the went into a narrow alleyway on 2 wheels & exited on the other 2 :doh:
