Just bumped into Tim Shaw from Car SOS today.  Seemed a good chap and not the plonker he plays on the TV series.

He was interested in my Esprit, I told him to get more Lotus's on the show.  He's got 2 1965 Mustangs and is on the look out for an Elise S1 now.

Awesome Mark 

I love that show, do not actually find him that irritating, the other chap Fuzz seems a pretty cool chap, would like to pay a visit to his workshop someday ! 

Funnily enough checked the frosts restoration webstore today and found that Fuzz is sponsored by them ! 

Very cool pic to get with the celeb by your esprit

Wasn’t it Tim Shaw’s missus that sold his Esprit for a quid?

[Dan E]

It was and I agree I like him, another thing do you know he invented the rubber ice cube holder thang

So 7 hours of cleaning later and I am liking my drive today 😂

Better get round my manor a bit lively.  Mine's filthy.

@sparky even fed the leather, I am a tit though I didn’t realise there was a window in the tailgate cleaned all the windows then got in it and thought I have cleaned that window why is it covered in shit!

Impressive stuff Dan, but if I’m honest, the area on the right looks like it needs a bit more pressure washing.

Ian if I am honest the best day of my life is yet to come which will be when I rip that shitty brick drive up and redo the front. But got to finish the house first

[swindon_alan]

Something like this to complement the house improvements?

[Dan E]

This is a bit more me

Flooded garages are a bit old skool, aren't they?

Yes it was, He was flirting with some it girl live on the radio and it did not go down to well lol.

I only found out it was actually him the other day after one of the other forum members it was him that used to be that radio presenter lol.

Jodie Marsh was the lass I think ?

Would love an M100 S2 Dan 😎

Am I wrong to think it'd make a decent runabout, just tipping about, no real need for a car day to day here?

[Dan E]

@GTK it is a lovely thang but they leak a lot. But I would say there is not a car on this planet that would keep up it on a B road and I mean name a car and I can tell you I will be looking at it in my rear view mirror

After a bit of fettling my old Elan was stayed dry for the rest of my ownership, 3 years!

I’d name anything driven by Bibs.

[Dan E]

I will take that challenge 

[Chillidoggy]

Be afraid.

[Sparky]

Be very afraid.

That looks like it was made out of Lego. You need a VX220 to go with it....

😁

I'd heard that about it being a great point to point car. I missed two here last year. Both went for less than €4k euros! Can't touch on in the UK for that. I'm still gutted, I think that ship sailed. With Irish tax and insurance laws it'd actually be an affordable drive too.
