Default PICS : LFA Test Prototype sighting. Details in & out

In 2010, I was fortunate enough to spot an LFA prototype (not sure if prototype is correct, maybe camo'd) from afar. I doubt anybody that was not closely following the LFA development at the time would've recognized it. The prototype was accompanied with two test drivers (one in the Hawaiian blue shirt), probably taking a washroom break. If my memory serves me right, there might've been either a carolla or a mini cooper riding with them (maybe it was the Black Versa in Pic #1). I got close and took photos, they didn't seem to care at all actually. Perhaps I should've gotten more but I felt quite proud to have caught it in the wild at the point in time.

Soon after, I put the photos up in Car Chat, by now I can't even find that thread.

I thought it would be nice to contribute the photos to the LFA forum as some sort of historical archive.

Looking back, I now regret not taking photos of their notes and documents, but I do remember scanning them quickly, just forgot what was on it.

I was thinking the same thing. Looks like it came right off of a 70 Series Land Cruiser Truck.
