Hello Allan, The Esprit V8 SE I crashed in early 2003 was built to my spec. Azure Blue with piped tan hide. I managed to track down a 2001 Colbalt Blue V8 SE with blue hide, later in 2003 as a replacement. I'm still driving the Colbalt Blue one to this day although it has had to have a new engine since I got it. This is the car in my picture with me and my son, Josh. I still think I prefer the Azure blue as a colour for the car but my Colbalt blue seems less common and a bit more subtle. Mayby one day when I can afford a respray. The new Persian Blue seen on the new Evora at the factory visit last week, looks fantastic. Although I am sure to the purists having a not stardard colour, would not be the done thing. Cheers, Paul

Yes, I paid over 60 for mine, two years before. then I wrote it off!

In my enthusiasm to post the videos of my last Esprit's demise, I should have said that the accident happened in 2003. Thanks Bibs for pointing this out - I am ok! The accident happened on a straight piece of road. The back end suddenly slid out and sent me through a hedge and flipped into a ditch. I came out completely unscathed.

This is my first V8 as featured on "Look East" And then this happened...:

A big thanks to Bibs and the team for a fantastic weekend. I know dad had a great time (Tony C) and eveyone was so helpfull with him in his chair. It was great for us to put faces to the names and to meet all the characters. Looking forward to the next one, Thanks again team. Cheers, Paul

Hi Richard, You know where I live, so when you get to mine, we will go in convoy. Looking forward to the drive. Cheers, Paul Book In the two Thetford Boys.

I also hope to make it. Richard if you fancy a burn up there together let me know. Cheers, Paul

Hi Guys, Just a quick note to say is was great to meet up with the group last night. Fantastic pictures from James 'The_Bitch' and its good to point out the AEG members to my father, 'Tony C' who unfortunately couldn't make it. Enjoyed the drive home with 'RMCOOKE' -A pair of Esprits driving side by side down the Thetford duel carrige way.(I think we may have exceeded the speed limit) Richard your car does sound beautifull, I thought mine was loud! Anyway, great to meet up and put faces to the names, looking forward to the next outing. Cheers, Paul.

Cheers Simon, Looking forward to meeting the guys at the Angel tomorrow. Paul.

Hi Richard, Hope to see you there too. If you car wasn't ready I would have offered you a lift, but I'm already taking a mate, unless you sit on his lap. Next time, but you should be up and running by then. See you Monday. Cheers, Paul
