"[T]he frog is pointed aft with Lotus' twin cam nestling snugly between the hind legs, while the upturned forepaws take a firm grip on the rear suspension."
-- Could someone please clarify or correct this statement? My attempts to comprehend just slide off it, like spit off an astronaut's helmet. Thanks.
Never mind! I understood the assertion after only six rereadings. Thanks for posting, Mr. G. Have you any personal experience of Lotus cars? The Elan sure sounds like fun.
Just more late sixties ad copywriting :-) I have friends with Lotusses (Loti?) I will never own one.. but I'm living vicariously through them. But given the choice, I'll take a weird little Europa...
But If I knew a backwards facing frog would be forming the chassis of my car, perhaps I' would have gotten one sooner! Bizarre. But that was the LSD era.

I believe Backwards-Facing Frog is a yoga position. Or a rapper.
