Lotus 'Mystery Sculpture' on eBay

A&Q about Lotus

Q:
I thought I'd seen some weird stuff on eBay; got weirder today.


A:
It would be weirder if someone bid on it....
A:
it's no mystery if he tells everyone!
A:
Hey, Guys...uh...that's our side mirror plinth (passenger's side)!

EDIT: Actually didn't read the whole listing before posting. He does in fact tell what it is.
A:
What the hell is a plinth ?
A:
Paperweight? Damn, I'd better buy some lightweight replacement mirrors...

O the good old ebay....

A:
Proof that you can take anything, slap a Lotus sticker on it, and mark it up 3-10x.

Here's a $3 fuse that someone has a Buy it Now price of $35 for it. Cause it's LOTUS.



Hmmm. Those blades look a bit tarnished. Maybe the expense is due to pre-conditioning the fuse to be in a British car's electrical system?
