Gold FFM Popular Post jep 853 Posted September 26, 2020 Gold FFM Popular Post Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 On the one hand, this news makes my stomach turn with PR and names adding to the lustre of Lotus. There is a danger though of being piqued illogically; as when your favourite lesser known band has a hit or your 'secret' holiday venue becomes mainstream. Good on ya Harry - you are educating the ignorant who sheep-like repeat criticisms with no direct experience of the sheer brilliance of a Lotus as a driver's car.

Gold FFM C8RKH 6,250 Posted September 26, 2020 Gold FFM Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Look at Harry's video's on the Esprit and his trip to Italy. He genuinely loves the car and admires it for what he is. Well done Harry. Well done Lotus. Superb to see and Esprit get the recognition from upper class Tifosi. This can only be good for Lotus and for the Esprit. Come on chaps, be graceful. You all know what a superb car the Esprit was, and is. Celebrate the fact that it is being recognised for what it is! 2 Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate. Meh! NOTHING in this world is as addictive as an Evora +0. It's not for babies!

Dont get me wrong Im on the side of the Lotus and Harry has been a great chap to have on board with our Esprits. It just annoys me a bit that it takes someone such as he to convince other car enthusiasts the Esprit is worthy of such high praise. buddsy 3 Quote "Belief is the enemy of knowing" - Crrow777 Link to post Share on other sites

Bibs 11,145 Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Can't see how the owner really matters. Yes, no doubt that car in anyone else's hands wouldn't have even been at Salon Prive but for it to have won such a prestigious award can only be a good thing, no? 2 Quote 88 Esprit NA, 89 Esprit Turbo SE, Evora, Evora S, Evora IPS, Evora S IPS, Evora S IPS SR, Evora 400, Elise S1, Elise S1 111s, Evora GT410 Sport Evora NA For forum issues, please contact the Moderators.

scotty435 1,040 Posted September 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Hope he puts the event on his YouTube channel. No one can argue it’s one of the best YouTube channels out there and it’s great that he is a great supporter of the brand. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Didnt say it was a bad thing, only that I think the fact it's his is a contributing factor.

Buddsy 1,622 Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 If Jonny had had entered his Esprit entered Im sure many of the Ferrari owners would have looked down at him...aww bless glorified kit car. Just saying it sometimes takes a celebrity enforcement to change peoples perception of something. And about time too! Personally Im very happy to have Harry owning an Esprit. Hes just added £500.00 to the value of mine! buddsy Quote "Belief is the enemy of knowing" - Crrow777 Link to post Share on other sites
Gold FFM Popular Post jep 853 Posted September 28, 2020 Gold FFM Popular Post Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 I think 007 proved celebrity helps. How many of us bought our first Lotus 'cos TSWLM or FYEO? I did. Justin 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gvy 379 Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 I love the picture with the BMW M1. Since childhood ( and I am 54 now) I have always admired the looks of that car. Not a Porsche, not a ferrari, maybe a countach, but always an M1 has been my favorite supercar those days. And it still is. And it ressembles the esprit a lot.... Same timeframe....Giorgetto Giugiaro....fibre glass body.... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gold FFM jep 853 Posted October 4, 2020 Gold FFM Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 Suspect Esprit a better drive than BMW M1. Justin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Fridge 948 Posted October 5, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 I'm sure the owners of Salon Prive (and London Concours at The Artillary Club) haven't overlooked the publicity that Harry Metcalf brings to their events via his You Tube channel with it's 385,000 subscribers, and his 58,000 Twitter followers. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
