    From directly behind, they look like they are twice as think as mine, and the right side ones look thicker than those on the left. However, it is a MY85, so colour coded bumpers/mirrors is correct, maybe the later louvres have thicker supports, but normally being black, they aren't as obvious as when colour coded. Here's the car: Latest News from Cotswold Classic Car Restorations @Bling - you can check some on Sunday

    They look too thick (and coloured) - here's mine

    Should start a new topic - stupid cycle lanes Not WGC (I think)

    The pavement outside my house is one of the rare ones that isn't a shared cycle/footpath, but that doesn't seem to stop them - mostly children who will have been taught to ride on the pavement. We have a 7/8 ft high hedge and are on a the inside of a bend - so impossible to see what is coming. I am always very wary of coming out of my drive as they cyclists do come at quite a pace across the entrance. Luckily, I am able to use part of the the next door neighbours drive to reverse into before sticking my nose out, so the cyclists "should" be able to see the car before I pull out.

    It is very common in WGC for the cycle lanes to be on the pavement.

    Shame It isn't one of those rare black badge models ! As Barry says, great colour

    This is what our wonderful lot decided to do last year - add a cycle lane to both sides of one of the roads into the town centre, just appeared during lockdown 1. Never seen any cyclist in it, and if you follow the road over the railway, you get this shot You can no longer enter the car park from this entrance, and yes, that is a cyclist - on the pavement.

    Whoops - I've corrected it

    There are when you look on How Many Left for "Lotus Esprit Series 3" LOTUS ESPRIT SERIES 3 - How Many Left? So I guess all those registered as a Lotus Esprit in the 1980s were all S1s LOTUS ESPRIT - How Many Left?

    I had a quote for £2k for the whole interior (except carpets) for my Excel 3-4 years ago - Car Trimming - Upholstery Service (webs.com) I replaced the carpets at that point in time for £1k, and haven't yet got round to the interior.

    I'm not sure any Lotus can be described as a slow car. If the car, whatever age, is for occasional use, it will probably rack up the bills. If used regularly, maintenance costs are very reasonable. My Esprit's annual service is under £500. Mechanicals on both the Esprit and Elan are much simpler than on new cars - not electronics for one thing, so should be easier to fix. I wouldn't have thought that there are many current owners of both cars who can provide a comparison, although there will be people that have owned both at separate times in their car history. I own an Esprit

    As can be seen from the changed title, we are going to be at the Wings Cafe at North Weald Aerodrome. It opens at 9am and has plenty of seating outside. They are not taking any bookings, so it is just turn up and find a seat. Meet anytime after 8:30. If anyone coming from the west wants to meet at Hatfield Tesco, I'll be there around 7:45.

    Just putting this out there now so that you can put it in your diary. We are waiting to hear back from a location, so not 100% sure yet, but the venue will probably be in Essex (I can hear Wayne from here) Hopefully will be a sit down breakfast (outdoors) - and it is somewhere we have been before. I'll update this thread with more details when we have them.

    I like the Ekup. As you say, something different, and saved from the scrap hear. Really looking forward to seeing more videos.

    I turned hockey into my job when I lived in Africa - unfortunately, no income came with it, unless you count negative income from my pocket, of which there was a fair old amount. Did get a few paid for trips to officiate across Africa though as a neutral though. Was offered the job of CEO of Singapore Hockey (which would have had an income), but finally decided to stay in Africa to see though an astro-turf project that I had worked with the International Hockey Federation & International Olympic Committee to obtain, and which would have fallen through if I'd up sticks and left.

    If I remember correctly, google suddenly "fixed" itself with the verification codes being sent out immediately so we were able to get in and reset the password. But it was a couple of months or so after this email. Personally when setting up an account with a new website I use "[email protected]" I've got my domain hosted with Ionos (used to be 1and1) has a very useful facility for emails addresses that you haven't set up individually with a catch all "*@mydomain.com", so if I receive an email to [email protected] that isn't from websitename, I know it is spam and they have
