That's great!

I was waiting for that.
I should have said, "the 26th anniversary of my birthday"

I have most of the paperwork from the previous two owners, every bit of documentation that has been generated since I bought the car, not to mention some printouts of info I got from Lotus.
According to Lotus, my car cam off the line on Oct 4th, 2000 - my birthday. It was fate

It would be great if he joined the forum!

Sorry to hear this Peter. At least you know he is no longer suffering.

I looked at those, but decided to go with the Spax as they are cheaper and double adjustable, unlike the Lotus ones. VERY happy with my fronts.
-
LOL! I assume he was alright in the end.

Looks good, kepp posting pics as the parts arrive!

Rob - what kind of gearbox did you use?
-
Great. I've just ordered the replacements.
-
We have on gentleman in our car club that had his box explode in a 2000 Esprit V8, but I think that is the exception to the rule. If driven carefully and maintained correctly, you should be good. That said, it is not the smoothest gearbox known to man, and if certainly likes to be warmed up before spirited driving.

OK, I've just spent some time going through old threads and reviewing the LEW pages regarding replacement of the real shocks and springs and it seems like a fairly straightforward job... Does anybody have any experience fitting the SPAXX replacements? Is there anything different about them? As some of you may remember, the fronts both failed early last year and I chose to upgrade to the SPAXX front end (which I absolutely cannot say enough about!). I plan on going the same route for the rear and just wanted to get opinions on how rough a job this would be in my own garage.

I know I've said it before, but 'stunning' is the only thing that comes to mind.
-
lol - you are definitely one of the 'glass half full' types
-
I didn't make this one due to prior commitments. Will hopefully make it next month.

The plane was en route to Charlotte, where I live. I have several co-workers who were aboard this flight, returning from meetings in NY. All are safe and sound though, thank God.

Carolina Lotus Owners Club had its first event of the year this past weekend. We drove up to Hanging Rock and Pilot Mountain - an incredible drive followed by an incredible view.

Excellent work! Is that another Esprit in the background of the last shot?
-
I'll second that! I'd love to get a step-by-step.
-
Mine is sitting in the 'parking lot' right now!
By parking lot I mean my garage. Really no point in driving from the bedroom to my office.
-
It's freezing here as well. 65F (15C)
At some point, I may actually have to break out the long pants and put my shorts away for the year
-
Welcome! Looking for an Evora or Elise? Waiting on the new Esprit?
-
Well deserved recognition!
-
Looking good!

I purchased a 52 inch Sony XBR LCD about 18 months ago and have been quite pleased with it - until last weekend... I was in one of the local electronics stores and noticed several TV's with the same or better features selling for about 25% of what I paid for mine.
ahh well, it's the endless march of technology I guess.
