OMG you can't remake a classic - it's like disinterring a dead person and propping him up.

@Stefan Travis The 2009 "remake/reimagining" was a garbage. Those responsible for that travesty should've been incarcerated for vandalism of a classic show.

KAR 120C Lotus super Seven II. It was sold to an Australian guy and shipped over there...sadly being wrecked in an accident. AFAIK, the number plate KAR 120C is still owned by Caterham Cars.

If you calculate the letters (Their position in the alphabet) and number on the license-plate (Add them all together like this: 7+4+21+8+13 = 53) If you calculate the date this video was posted (June 26 2009 = 7+26+(2-9) = 25) If you then subtract the date-result from the license-plate result (53 - 25 = 28) If you then subtract the number of letters in the name RENAULT (28 - 7 = 21) TWENTY-ONE! It seems all math leads to prison lol :D (If you look hard enough all prophecies and math comes true)
