Showed it to my (nearly 5) grandson who stated "That's not the real Santa, that's a man in a Santa suit. The real Santa rides a sleigh pulled by Reindeer."
I enjoyed it though. Many thanks and best wishes.

That is a common misconseption around the world. Here in Finland, everyone knows that the Real Santa drives a white Lotus Excel and reindeers are food..

Brilliant! Loved it!

Now need to make an 'Ol' Nick in Hell' video using a Calypso RED Excel and plenty of tyre smoke!

Thank you for your kind comments. We just got our first snow, so I got the idea for a silly video. As I filmed it by myself in about an hour, it doesn´t have all the movie magic it could have. I will make a proper video this winter, but that will take more time and a proper video editor (mine is currently broken).

Another little Excel bit:

Terrific! They obviously recognise quality.

Well, I don´t think they pcked it up for the video´s technical excellence..

Good timing, silly idea and (at least in Finland) a very unusual car.

A lot of exposure for Excel. People have been amazed by driving a Lotus in snow.

A rough translation of the Top Gear lead in:

"Santa Claus arrives in style in Finland - with a great specialty car!

This Lotus Excel suits Santa Claus in the northern weather conditions!

Santa Claus arrives today to many homes and to celebrate this, the Finnish Sports Car Accociation sends Lotus-Christmas greetings to everyone! Top Gear Finland joins them in wishing a Merry Christmas to all!"

It’s no wonder Finland produces great rally drivers when you can play around in snow like that. Great video’s
