Hello,

To all Belgian owners, let's stick more together, as we don't see Lotuses and/or Esprits, too much in our (beloved?) Belgium.

My name is Gert, I live near Westerlo.
Ever since I was alittle kid I wanted a Lotus. So I bought an Elise about 9 years ago. I love the Elise, but I adore my Esprit. To me the Esprit is a real Super Car. So if you hear me referring to my Lady in Red, she's pictured in this post!!
My Esprit is an SE High Wing. Upgrades so far done: S4s front bumper, S4s, wheel arches, S4s OZ wheels, V8 rear panel.
At the moment we're also installing an electric chargecooler pump.

Hi Geert, I was there and your car did look good... It was a brilliant day out and about the country side in Belgium. I had a great time and made some new friends.

Hi,

My name is fabian and I'm living in Saint-Nicolas (Liège - Luik).
I own an Esprit Turbo 40th anniversary since 4 years.
People who came in Ypres have maybe seen my car.

This is the web site of the previous owner :

http://lotus-esprit-40.skyrock.com

Even if Lotus has built only 40 cars, the number of mine is 46 ;-)
