I’d bet nothing on it mate - you never know when I might find an Essex 

Either an Essex or an S300.

Or probably both...

[swindon_alan]

PS I'm sure that Ian will swap his S4s wheels over to you, he has always really wanted a V8 and now is his chance to make his look more like one...

Yes maybe that..... doubt either will come up anytime soon though.

off to unload the van

[swindon_alan]

You said that about an S4s Barry....

Happy unloading!

Wow, didn't realise you had to sell the van too.  That S4s must have been expensive.

I think Barry’s been very clever, in buying a V8 lookalike.

[Barrykearley]

It’ll look far better with twin tail pipes 

[Chillidoggy]

The fitting of twin pipes is an admission of a ‘shortage’ in the trouser department.

[Barrykearley]

Pah....no it’s not..

[swindon_alan]

...and you have finally got an Esprit with a decent rear wing Barry...

[Chillidoggy]

He’ll probably stick a V8 badge on the rear valance.

[Barrykearley]

No - really I absolutely won’t 

the vivid disappointment of v8 ownership is still burned into my memory 

 

[Barrykearley]

The missus has just taken me to next and Laura Ashley. Well joy oh joys - that’s the Christmas dinner service, candles, glasses and table runner bought....... paid with a smile through gritted teeth

Opps, I got a bit of explaining to do when I get back from holiday to! ?

[Sparky]

Pray tell...

[Dan E]

No, you will have to wait, then expect some photos with big obstacles in front of it. 

Also need to see if this one leads to divorce first! 

[Sparky]

Gissa clue!  Will you let me work on it?

[Dan E]

Yep. I will even let you drive it ?

[Sparky]

Oh goody, this is like Christmas!

It’s a bit special this one. Barry you say you have been poking around with Danny? I don’t think so mate I am at home thinking must tell the wife in a minute then thinking oh “maybe tomorrow”(  not the Stereophonics song ) 

[Barrykearley]

Danny’s my lad !! He likes the new one as well. He’s getting the hang of figuring out what these bits are now.

just remember - it’s better to ask for forgiveness than to beg for permission- works for me

I would have thought after working on all these Esprits Barry you would have figured out the engine is in the back. I mean laying all the bits on the bonnet and guessing where they might go underneath isn’t going to get you anywhere.
