Bib's new car?

[Trevsked]

Right, here it is. You can't drive anything but a Lotus if you want any sort of credibility and you want a useable, fast ,fun possibly a convertible and not cost a fortune.

ELAN M100.

Much overlooked but i's got it all. Economy, speed, handling, no rot, credibility, convertible and tuning potential.

Trevor.

[Bibs]

An M100 turbo is on the list, I'll have one of them for a while I'm sure, norfolk mustard too

[steve930]

Here you go bibs, a really nice elan m100. :-)

You may find this funny but I did in fact grow up and school very close to their location. I actually know his nephew pretty well too, he's a cracking DJ who lives in South Wales!

[steve930]

Well they do say there's a black sheep in every family! (paul I mean)

[Mark Blanchard]

How about a Nissan 350ZX. They're cheap these days and go well.

That should keep you properly entertained.

also thought Bibs will get up with cars from the factory pool now and for ever .. -there is no privat owned Esprit anymore, and with all those 'internal' cars he is way up from "us"

we moved from *Esprit Forum* to *theLotusForums* ..so think he still should use a 'Lotus' of any kind whatsoever

this Proton really looks like *Lotus DNA* ..hahhaa , with a drill and some screws everyone can make a ugly bodykit as it seems -but that's the same problem I have with the look of the S4s/V8 Esprit wheelarches and those from the Lotus-Omega/Carlton

[Trevsked]

Forgot, what about a Sunbeam Lotus? Very cool cars.

Trevor.

[steve930]

Cor can't remember the last time i saw one of those in regular use!. There used to be 5 or 6 in the weymouth/dorchester area many moons ago

[Kimbers]

I agree Trev. SUnbeam Lotus would be suitably Lary for Mr Bibbo

[rogerch]

[Stirling_Villeneuve]

Exige S would look even better in that colour combo! Have a word with 'em Bibs!!!

[Mark Blanchard]

A few more ideas:

1971 Barracuda

GTD40

[rogerch]

Gee Mark I've always had the greatest respect for you, your skills, aesthetic views and taste.

Then you go and post a green blancmange.

[Stirling_Villeneuve]

...and the current cost of a MY12 Evora is about the same a years fuel for the GTD40!

I'm 40 in a few weeks and I'm just starting my mid-life crisis. So what do you expect.

Nice, an icon of American, um, er, ow, hang on it'l come to me.

Nice, an icon of American, um, er, ow, hang on it'l come to me.

That's the test mule for the Federal version of the new Exige.

[TBD]

Bibs, I recommend you take Dany's Esprit V8. That is one gorgeous car.

[Kimbers]

And, I suspect, one expensive car

[Stirling_Villeneuve]

That does look rather special, anyone know what they're looking for?

ps Definitely not interested here, just curious!

[steve930]

I'd be scared to own it, just in case it got stoned or egged by all the danny haters.

Seems that Bibs is fooling us all, and is enjoying our guesswork as he has already bought a track worthy car: look here :D
