SE Owner :-D

3 words: DATSUN - SPRING ROLLS

mums the word

The element that is very firmly coming across is the fact that those who disagree with or have an opinion that isn't a sheep like following of all things Lotus are somehow wrong to have such a differing opinion and therefore questioned/accused as a result... Perhaps it might be better to have pinned to threads of this nature that the thread is only open to those who are willing to add contributions that everyone wants to hear rather than what people want to say?

Thank you Paul, You have exemplified the main point I was making. "Lotus have just revealed plans for a new red clutch hose and renault 5 door handles...FANTASTIC - heres my deposit!"

I've no shows or meets planned but that's not to say i'm not up for a hoon sometime...i think my upgrades will be significantly pale compared to the outstanding work you've done on your SE...and probably Karl's

Seriously Graham, There is nothing I dislike about the 'Arabian Track Pimpmobile'...I couldn't give a monkeys mate to be perfectly honest. I just like taking the pish and casting a fly to see what bites everytime there's a 'Look Lotus did this, Lotus are doing that, Lotus built this' thread. I'm sensing you bit? Sorry if you've taken it personally. I'm just not one of the 'blind faith in lotus worshippers'...speaking as an owner albeit of an old plastic sportcar... I am a true Esprit lover in all its forms...molested, unmolested, modified and unmodified...yeah they could of done a better job of it...and if I had enough time and money i'd straighten mine out even more... there is something 'idealistic' in me that loves the Esprit...I do have an appreciation of some other models...but in recent years when I look at where Esprit left off I have as previously mentioned been underwhelmed with what lotus have brought to the table. I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to spurt a million dollars on a weekend plaything and quite frankly with a wife and kids on a civil servant salary I think long and hard about the camera purchase too...(the Esprit has taken a back seat due to reality biting financially for me). But what I do know is that the concept of the Exos may well be a great idea to some...but to me it's yet another disappointing offering form Lotus. However I still look forward to this long, long awaited New Esprit...I hope it is as competitive in performance and looks as sexy and timeless (to me) as any of the previous Esprit, I just hope it doesn't have a red clutch hose...

nice...and loving what your doing to the se david

:respect: :respect: :respect: Ahh yes the golden era, the epitome of it all, the wonder years. I thank you for that sir!

^ what he said...2nd'd

redstuff

A man is in a queue at Tesco and sees this busty blonde staring at him, he can't believe she is staring at him, then she starts waving. 'Excuse me do I know you?' he asks. 'Yes I think you are the father of one of my kids' she says. The man thinks back and remembers his one act of infidelity and says 'Are you the bird I sha**ed on my stag night, whilst your mate whipped me and your other mate stuck a brush up my a**e?' 'No' she replies 'I'm your son's English teacher!'

can't believe how many people (how few in reality) actually believe that all of a sudden 25 track packages mean Danny Bear is a visionary...lotus r+d and marketing is a force to be reckoned with and we should all bow down to them...this was all part of a grand plan...lotus are gonna stoppa putting shi*t parts from any old corner of the earth parts bin on their cars...people are falling over themselves to buy europas/evoras and now exos's instead of anything else...their main dealers/servicing departments are all biblical in status and we shouldn't have an opinion that isn't the same as the pro turnip temple followers. i really hope the new esprit that is well overdue doesn't engender another thread like this and other similar 'it's great - Vs - it's sh*t' threads' but i have little confidence in the last 7 or 8 years in anything brought to the market by Lotus...(i lie actually there was a lovely fleece i saw a few years ago...not sure it was a Lotus though!)

James Millner...i reckon. Totally agree with your points dispite your gooner tendency... really rate him as a manager, one of those that brings out the best in mediocre players... Are thte gooners still after reina? never thought wenger would want to spend a great deal on anyone... take it cesc is staying then?

ahh the new esprit unveiled at watford exotics...

My wife's so fat when she fell down the stairs I thought Eastenders was finishing. A man's wife hits him acrossthe head.Hes says "whats that for"She says "Ifound a piece of paper in your pocket with sexy sarah written on it" Quick as a flashhe says "thats the name of the horse i bet on you silly cow"she apologises. A week later she hits over the head with a frying pan. He says, "What the f**k was that for"?She replies, " Your f***ing horse phoned"

felix see if you can talk the limp wristed chutney ferret into v8 hubs for his karlos fandango's ps. i need your s4s code...

can't believe it...any thoughts? My link

far be it from me to suggets what the almighty do with their money i'm not one to worship at the turnip termple...but in my opinion since the demise of the esprit; the europa, evora and those go karty things have done little else.

are they actually from the land of Wales?

limp wristed ladyboy chasing chutney ferret!
