Is laughing too hard tempting fate and bad karma?
-
it only as though it portrayed Chapman negatively (I do not see it that way). Nevertheless, a very very interesting show.
I think it portrayed him as a classic British bounder and a genius and a man who was very much of his time who was always looking to push the envelope whether it was in engineering or tax law.
Very interesting though.

But the big question is .....are you going to the demo?
and if you do will you manage to convince yourself that somehow your Hi-Fi still souds better ?

I agree, lovely pictures. Can you tell me what the two different blues are. They are both gorgeous but look slightly
different from my son's cobalt blue (or his former azure blue). I personally like the darker blue which is not familiar to me. tonyc
Hi Tony
My S4s is Azure Blue and Ian's V8 is Midnight blue....which seems to change colour depending on what the ambient light is doing. Sometimes it looks almost black, but with the sun on it looks a really deep blue.

Pure Unadulterated Automotive Top Shelf Rick!
You do take a good pic bud. Weather was kind and venue was befitting for Esprits. Same again soon.
The camera takes a good picture...I just press the button.
Yes we must do it again soon. We need to get more Esprits in the line next time.

Sunday was a nice day so Ian and I decided to excercise the motors!
Roll on next sunday !!

I have just got back from the US and discussed fuel prices with the cab drivers there. The price of premium unleaded was $2.63 PER GALLON !
when I said that this was working out to about $8 per gallon in the UK they almost crashed the cab. He assumed that we had a fuel blockade or a shortage. In fact a couple of them suggested we start protests at government! maybe its just a British thing that we are prepared to put up with the tax increaes all the time and do in fact roll over. There was a several pence tax increase that was held over from the last budget only implimented in October and again no one really mentioned it.

Was on holiday last week and have not seen any telly!! which channel was the TV programme in question on? and is it on one of the on line catch ups?
-
would I be the only one to experience this ?
No you are not!
obviously in Devon we are not used to sun for the past few years but on the summer day this year I had massive glare (reflecting from the wet road) problems. Polorized sun glasses help.

Its no good Ian, we are going to have to build one in the South West...I suggest we tarmac over Newton Abbot race course!
-
Looks great if you ask me, but whats the break through ?
Clearly the breakthrough is the mirror on a stick !!
it does not feature on any of the cars you showed us!
thank goodness for progress
-
Judging from the somewhat bored fixed look on the drivers face in all the pics it doesn't even raise a grin !!
-
Thanks Rick.....!
well come on then .....pics please!!
-
looks ok to me!

Is there a strange echo here with everyone being at the "frolic"?
Never mind those of us stuck with work/wife comitments can give the place a spring clean while they are all out. pass the cilit bang.
-
Just a thought...are there ANY tree hugging supercar owners?
Feed a tree, drive a big car !
-
Not sure what they do here Jonathon. Still in the 'talking to' phase. I just need to get hold of the S4 graphic which I can't seem to find on the internet very easily.
Are these what you are looking for ?

Have just tried walking on water as Bibs requested and it is possible.
The water was frozen of course, but I would like to reitterate the point that mine are size 14!
and I am happy to lower the tone of this thread as soon as it looks like getting too serious again.
-
Youtube?
I was talking about my feet not mytube...
oh sorry .... I know what you mean now.
-
Can you walk on water?
Not the last time I tried. But now you mention it I may try again...
-
hey man,
I wear size 9.5
remember, driving an Esprit, you must buy a racing shoe from Puma first.
(well there are many other brands, but they all look like copies from Puma style)
anyway, yes, 2000+ lotus esprit V8s are excellent!!! much better
Is this going to turn into a "mine are bigger than yours" thread...?
mine are size 14 (no kidding) and I still manage to drive OK. I am 6' 2" tall and have an S4s
Its much more comfy than the X180 I used to have but if you are wanting all the comforts and space of a "normal car" I suggest getting a normal car
Can you walk on water?
