Top Gear ending is no great loss. The last 3 presenters were like watching Crackerjack. Looking forward to the Grand Tour.

Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel
Mark Blanchard replied to LotusLeftLotusRight's topic in General Chat
I notice the oil price up 4% today. Petrol prices will follow. Lets hope it's not a repeat of the Yom Kippur War (Israeli vs Arabs), where the US fell out with the Saudi's over it and caused the energy crisis and inflation of the 1970s. The US is on better terms with some Arab states. -
The hazard switch on my Ferrari 360 is off a Ford Focus, as is the remote keyfob. I want my money back! 😄

Thought I'd post up this to show how much prices have increased. Here's the Ad for my old Esprit in 2002, when I bought it. And anyone want an Esprit for 3 grand? Needs a clutch.

Looked better on the Khan wheels.

Couple of shots from Stonor Supercars & Classics Day yesterday.

Great car you have Will. I'll be going next year, look out for the orange 1970 Dodge Challenger.

Great you use it Pete. Stunning car.

A couple of photos from Kop Hill Climb today. Saw Doors Hendrie's old GT3 going up the hill. It was faster than some of the McLarens / Ferrari's. I understand Dermot O'Hare did some up grades on it. The new Owner Will has been restoring it. For anyone interested in going, it's on again tomorrow.

Hope it gives the Porsche Taycan a run for it’s money.

Salon Prive today. S1 in good company.

Very cool. Shame Chapman didn’t do it at the time. Would have been great to have seen it up against the Lola T70s and McLaren M6s. Here are the blue print from the original proposal.

Happy Birthday chap! Hope you're having a good day

Very depressing reviews on the i4 in Autocar and Pistonheads this morning. The last ICE car Lotus makes and the British press have a go . https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/lotus/emira-i4 https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-driven/2023-lotus-emira-i4-first-edition-ph-review/47513

It was like that at Castle Combe, people would move there and then complain about the noise from the circuit. Morons.

You know where they can stick their hose pipe.

Things were good in the olden days . -
June seems to be our summer these days. The weather patterns seem to have changed. I hear the second half of August is supposed to be ok. Fingers crossed.

Yep, I lived in Malaysia / Brunei for work and it was fantastic weather. You'd wake up and it would be summer every day. Even when it was the monsoons it was ok.

14 degrees here today and raining. Global warming my arse.

Time to renovate again after 20 years
Mark Blanchard replied to unity1's topic in Esprit 'Project & Restoration' Room
Hi Chap, long time to hear. Must have been 20 years ago when we were on the Unity forum. Regarding the colour, I like the colour of the car it is at the moment (on the Photoshop). Not that bothered with the stripe. -
Congrats Bibs . A garage is more important than a house. We bought a lovely double garage, with a house attached.

How that egg slicer gets past pedestrian safety legislation is beyond me.
