Gold FFM Sparky Posted June 22, 2008 Gold FFM Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 By coincidence, I have a tattoo which reads 'Loser'. Except when I'm hooning, when it says 'Lotus Esprit Turbo'.

USAndretti42 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 My Lotus accessories are mainly books, Colin Chapman- The Man and his Cars by Jabby Crombac, Colin Chapman- Wayward Genius (can't remember the author's name), The History of Lotus, 1948 to 1960 by Ian Phillips, The History of Lotus, 1961 to 1970 by Doug Nye, Lotus Engineering by Hugh Chamberlain, Flying on the Ground (Emerson Fittipaldi biography), Mario Andretti by Nigel Roebuck, Jochen Rindt by Heinz Pruller, various books on Graham Hill, My, It was Fun by Tony Rudd and Lotus Esprit by Jeremy Walton are the ones that spring to mind. Some of the titles may be incorrect. Must get round to finishing my 1:12 scale model of a Lotus 49.

abrussich Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) Never thought about it, but after doing a mental walk through I'd have to say there is something Lotus in almost every room of the house. Only room missing anything is the small vanity and that is because it is being remodeled. Garage: Esprit, Elise, Type 61, (soon to be replaced by a shiney new 2-11), enough spare bits to build something or other, posters, trophies from various car shows, Team L.O.S.T. (Lotus Owners of South Texas), race banner, ACBC flag, assorted ball caps, and a RC Exige. Den: Books, magazines, models, posters, more trophies, photos, and some nostalgic blown bits from the Esprit and race car. Master Bedroom: ball caps, watches, tee shirts by the ton, and an artisitcally framed poster. The wifes doing on the last bit. Spare bedroom: posters that have not found a better place for the moment, more models Bathroom: reading material Kitchen: key fobs, reading material Living Room: more trophies, coffee table books, frmed photos Dining room: absolutely nothing allowed in there. Hallways: photos Bathrooms: reading materials and a couple of posters. Did I miss anything? Edited June 24, 2008 by abrussich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
