Making a getaway from the witches at the halfway stop on our annual Halloween run.

Did the "silver car" ever turn up?

[Bibs]

Yup, it's in the ItalDesign studio in Turin. We spent a couple of years tracking it down and it was in the most obvious place in the end!

Every mechanic that has ever worked on an Esprit engine regrets the flip up rear didn't make it to production...
Or the complementary roof ornament. 😁

No-brainer - I'd take the flip-up rear.

[Escape]

In any case, you'd have to take the ornament off first to flip open the rear. The few minutes extra that would take, would be easily gained with better access, so no need to rush. 😎

I fully agree the flip up rear would be greatly appreciate while working on the car myself however in this case as its not my car, I could offer assistance to remove the ornament and ensure its fully serviced while the mechanic works on the car.  I've been finding, grinding and filling cracks over the past few weeks which would put me in good stead here also.

Is that the same “fox” that keeps sharting on @Sparky’s gt3?

Hey guys!

strange question, but I hope someone can help!

i took a screenshot from a video (I believe on YouTube) for my desktop wallpaper (the properties say on June 22). Now my wife saw this and also wants a wallpaper like mine, but of course not the same!

can anyone tell me, in which clip I extracted that picture????

i guess it was in one of the linked videos here, but I couldn’t find it again!

 

thanks in advance for any helpful comment !

I would try to look for that user on youtube maybe?

The car looks similar, but it’s not the right one! Different mirrors (not black)and some plastic parts at the front wheel are missing! 

But thanks for the hint!

I thought you already have one of those. 

[C8RKH]

Please move if not in the right place.

But it is amazing.

Whilst it was clean ...

I think I've posted this before, but just re-watched it and thought it was worth a re-post.

Another one for the mix.

Even though I don't mind a bit of Eric I'd rather hear the exhaust, whine and flutter.

Back in October when it was still sunny. Not often that I have both of my cars out at the same time.

Looking at my picture again (taken 7/12/2019) - it really is not that shiny, and never has been, and the wheels are painted not polished. Taken with my 2018 Sony phone with no filters.
