This book is a semi-technical and semi-humorous account of the restoration of a Lotus Europa. A Lotus Europa is an old British car that was imported to the United States from about 1966 to about 1973. I had previously restored a Lotus Cortina, a Lotus Seven and several Lotus Elans. This was my first atttempt at a total body off restoration of a Lotus Europa. I kept track of my progress and/or my heartburn moments in monthly articles for our Lotus Corps car club newsletter called the Lotus Notus. I kept all the articles and now this book is the collection of those articles. I had a lot of fun restoring the car and writing the articles. I hope you enjoy the book!

This work traces the etymologies of the entries to their earliest sources, shows their kinship to both Spanish and English, and organizes them into families of words in an Appendix of Indo-European roots.

Do you know your Boosterism from your Backstopectomy? Can you tell Prometheus from Cincinnatus, and if so, do you know what Prime Minister Boris Johnson is trying to say when he namechecks esoteric figures from the classics, quotes obscure phrases from history or just makes words up?
