Martyn I use mine as a dialy driver but I also have an old Rover that I bought for a few hundred quid so that days like today when it's frosty and icy I'll take the Rover, when I go and visit friends and they don't have a driveway to park the car on I'll take the Rover, or just taking stuff down the tip ............ Don't limit yourself, you'll soon find you need another car just to do all the crap stuff in.

Cheers matey ! Shown you mine, now lets see yours. ooerrrr missus !

Slade Luurrrve "The Paul" unusual colour ? The Lags are hard to find anywhere outside France not just the US

Slade This was on the chair These are on the wall And they're not Jacksons Fernandes, much more playable for me than Jacksons.

Jussi The stuff in the rack used to be part of my gig rig. Noise gate Chorus 32 band Eq Delay Distortion and Wireless Now I just use a simple on the floor Zoom unit, does everything the other stuff used to and is sooooooo much less hassle. Below that hidden behind the PC side panel there's a Marshall rack valve pre-Amp and a 2 channel 200Watt Marshall rack valve power amp. If it's too loud, you're too old........

Here's mine ! I think I need to have a tidy

So going by that, a country is it's own entity and has no bearing on the people that live there ? Teigan you do talk some complete and utter bollox. That said, The UK says shut it Teigan!

Just so wrong on so many levels !!!!!!!!!!

Roger There's no (real) problem driving these cars every day. I do! even in the wet. The only time I don't take the Esprit is if there is a frost or the roads are icy. Driving in the wet is fine if you're alert and not too heavy with the right foot, there's enough power there to get it fish-tailing in a straight line in "4th" gear, I've done it, that's where you learn to back off. Teigan makes a good point, these cars and the position of the handbrake means that hill starts are an art, and need practice. Don't ride the clutch Also driving the car is much better for it than letting it stand because it's been raining. So get out there, get one, and drive it as much as you can. It can only be a good thing.

There's no vote option for Yes it's nice but i'd rather have the Squad of Wet Highschool Cheerleaders

If there was going to be any difference, you wouldn't notice it on 1 tank.......

unleaded is not a problem in any of the 9XX series engines. As the heads are "ali" the valve seats are already hard enough not to require leaded fuel or lead replacements / additives. Don't know why Sj think different. My 78 Eclat is fine with unleaded the 1980 S2.2 I had was fine with unleaded Everybody else I've ever talked to says the same. If anybody else knows different please spaek now.

If she lies the other way round she'll be a bit more aerodynamic

Nice one chap ! Id have to agree, mine sounds like Dr Zoidberg on heat with gear changes! WooobWooobWooobWooobWooobWooob :( :(

foil hat? I never take mine off

And don't be holding a golf club Be flying a kite Be holding a javelin The Esprit body though ! would it act as a Farady cage? I don't think so ! even if the roof / panels were lined with foil to act as an effective cage each part has to be electrically connected, and we all know how well lotus earthing tends to work.

1984 trying to convince Teigan to buy a Ferrari????????????????

Yes but my wallet says mmmmm! spend

F*** me! I never thought i'd agree with Teigan, but he is right that lightening travels from the ground upwards. but it's not so much attacking the tallest object but the object it leaves last. Confused yet??????????????????????

Dont worry just found it Trans-Siberian Orchestra

That first vid is stunning, forget too much time on your hands, genius I say ! Also I want to know what the music is

My speedo works ! but the Odometer in it stopped working for about 50 miles ?????/// Figure that one out !

Did you say Peel?

I'm with you Wayne. I just can't help biting when "his lordship" starts. And Travis nobody's saying you or anybody else won't do a bang up job on your Esprit, but with the number of variants of Esprit your solution won't suit everyone and the fact that Lotus have taken the time to supply us ALL with setups that'll do our cars justice can only be praised. And I suspect that if you do decide to do something for your car the amount of trial and testing you'll need to do to get a comparable set up will far out weigh the "extra" cost that the factory is charging, but maybe this is what you enjoy doing, personally I'd rather get something I know is as right as it can be and spend the time enjoying the car. I use mine as a daily driver and so doing trials on my suspension won't do, if I can get the gear, get it on, get it set up, and then drive it I'm happy.

On the private test track of course !!!
