First time I've seen a picture of your new car I think, Paul.

Your old car was nice but your new one is very nice. Definitely a happy ending.

Finally got around to detailing the Esprit for its wintertime storage. Felt soo bad leaving it sit there dirty (not that dirty) for the past month and a half, but just have had no time to clean. Anyways, after the cleaning was done, I decided to snap off a bunch of pics of it with my daily driver :lol:

Something about a white Esprit surrounded by snow - beautiful.

Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk - that will teach us to keep mouth shut!

Cheers guys,

Yep, OZ futura's with gloss black rim and anthracite centre.

I was going to get them refurbed but just found it so much hassel to find someone to do it at a reasonable cost I decided to run with this Idea.

Originally I had a green pinstripe but I now Love them like this instead!!

Hi,

Took some new pics recently for insurance purposes, so I thought I would show them. I so want to get a late V8 rubber spoiler to finish the front off, but the complete sport exhaust is taking all the money this month!

It's my first full year now of ownership and I like to think the jobs I've done have really improved the car. OK, there is still a long way to go, but I'm gradually getting through the list! It will have all new headlights before next winter, probably two new rear tyres and perhaps some more engine bay cleaning, oh and not forgetting dying the interior light black! And plenty of t-cut and polish to keep her gleaming, also getting rid of those 'European Union logo' number plates for some nice honeycomb 3d letter number plates.

Hi,

I like them over the original fitments, Honda 2000 mirrors. The number plates are clean, it's just the Euro logo, I'm old fashion, I'm British, not European. Euro is just a load of nonsense, we are just a load of countries that happen to be next door to each other, Germans are Germans, French are French and so on, 'European' is just another word like 'environment', which equals more tax.

Owen.

Thanks, that was fun, I looked it all up on Google Earth. I remember last year going from Cardiff to Pwlheli to look at an Esprit, some awsome roads, made to be DRIVEN! pitty I was in a Corsa.

Went for a little drive this afternoon that ended in the death of a pheasant, unfortunately all over the front of my car. It was pretty gross and at least I have a nice layer of animal fat protecting the front at present.... :D Pheasant fat is bright yellow!!.....it's brains are the same colour as ours though :D

Anyway. I took these and if you want to play a guessing game of where they are, scroll them down a little at a time.

Numero Uno.....Pretty (the dog poo wasn't that I stood in though).
