Pilot of SR-71

Michael You summed up my Esprit ownership ('79 S2 commemorative )as of when i I sold it many years ago. I had it 25 years and it wasn't a daily driver, but it was immense fun all those years. i will be 70 in 2 weeks and due to current physical shape I'll never own another Lotus (can't roll into and out of the seat) but I enjoy reading other Lotus owners current experiences. So glad it was part of my driving history. One year I drove to the annual LOG event in Atlanta that year (1000 miles each way) Good times. Bob

Sadly the current President sponsored a law to outlaw assault rifles back when he was previously vice president, but it had a time limit on it so it did not self-renew (no doubt negotiated in by politicians owned by the NRA) It's all about money (arms manufacturers)

this has been moving painfully slow for what is all too obvious to me

Brings back memories. 40 years ago I put together my 1/12 scale Type 72 Model that is still in my living room cabinet.

sorry, but being a south park fan

Now where is the mating Lotus F1 car? 😉

Just curious, How soon will EIIR change to CIIIR on the Beefeaters uniforms?

Budweiser is not synonymous with beer IMHO 😟

as Bibs said lease....it's their problem

I think I had my cataract surgey over 10 yrs ago. It corrected a lifetime of wearing glasses. Nice to go in the water and see people on the shore clearly and no more fogging glasses in winter or rain. Amazing stuff these days !!!

spelling aside 😜

Many many years ago I got the outdoor cover (blue)for my S2 Esprit and I liked the fit (like a glove). But yes, that was a long time ago. https://beverlyhillsmotoring.com/collections/car-covers

Let me know when you want to do this for REAL (NFL) football 😁😜

This used to happen quite regularly on a road I used to go to work on many many years ago. Lots of warning signs, but they still kept doing it.

looks like Hubble before they had a mission to fix it. Give NASA a call !!!

Feel fortunate. Not too hot (does hit 90F a few times) got AC and plenty of water and no fires Not moving anywhere !!!

Just think what a few A10's could have done when the war started !! (mowing down rows of tanks)

This stuff boggles my feeble mind (grain of sand bit) will all become clear when i pass in another 10 or so years? I try not to think about it and waste cpu cycles looping.

I wonder what Bernie would say if his buddy Vlad suddenly declared he was taking 50% of Bernie's holdings. Afterall if's for Russia (mafia boss Vlad) Amazing !!!

I'm taking my wife out for a new pair today !!!

Of course he won't if one belives in pee-pee gate ! 😜

In the US it would be any authorized Lotus dealer, Don't know about UK

What a horrible pre-race fiasco. Martin Brundle being forced to seek out glitterati on the grid and failing horribly. I wish I did my homework and showed up just in time for the warm up lap. All the pre-race fluff stuff was embarrasing. (but it's all about maximizing commercials these days before the race and thankfully the race itself appeared commercial free to me)

We thought we were empty nesters several yeats ago when the last of my 3 stepdaughters left home. Her older sister became an addict and subsequently got pregnant. Her subsequent boyfriend was a child abuser and long-story short we have custody of the grandson. Oh well. master reset on "empty nest" status. Good news is other stepdaughters are great and the addict went through rehab and now is married to somene new. (but the grandson has nighborhood friends and well established in this school system and will graduate here in several more years) His mother lives 2 towns away Life has its twists !!!
