Wow scary incident!
At my shop we use a good old Toyota Fork Lift to move Lotuses, seeing as many old British Sports cars for the most part refuse to move under their own power.   Yasin

I happened to be walking by a repair shop when a Chevy panel van fell off a lift. One of the scariest damn things I think I've ever seen.

Interesting closing comment by the demolished Lotus owner:
Dammit!!!! And I have the Central Florida Lotus Fun Run on Saturday which I've been organizing. Guess I'll have to drive the 911.

Ever driven an Elise? A stock weight Carrera would feel like a dump truck afterwards.

Guys, its Quarl off the 914 board who's car fell. He has a 911, 914, and the Lotus. I know he posts on the bird board at times also. And he built the 914/6 by hand almost.
