You got me there. Trash talking the Lotus Elise. I think Jeremy is a little too sensitive in his hind quarters. He probably was paying a little too much attention to the stiff suspension rather than the true handling abilities of the Elise.

I know you do not watch the show but if you did, you would know that Jeremy cannot drive very well. He is good at inducing power oversteer with tire shredding drifts but precision driving... he does not do so well. There was this episode where Sabine (Queen of the Nurburgring) spends 2 days trying to get Jeremy to lower his time in a Jaguar. She then tells him that she could do the same time around the Nurburgring in a van and almost does it in a stock Ford Transit van!!!! Now that is entertaining.
