dmckenna Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I know it's been two years since I sold my Esprit and was probably last on here. Still miss the car but going back through some old photos just found this that made me laugh so thought I'd share it. Kind of sums up the Esprit life....

Mark Blanchard Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 (edited) Hi Dave, long time no hear! Here are a few more pics of your old Damon Hill beating machine. What are you driving around in these days? Edited October 31, 2008 by Mark Blanchard Quote Mark www.lotusespritturbo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Blanchard Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 (edited) Did you catch an absolute masterclass from Jeff Beck @ ronnie scotts on bbc4 last week ? Hi Mike, sure did! He made Clapton look like he was a beginner. The highlight for me was "Where Were You." Here it is for anyone that didn't see it: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00dw..._Ronnie_Scotts/ Edited October 31, 2008 by Mark Blanchard Quote Mark www.lotusespritturbo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmckenna Posted November 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 You cheeky buggers !!! :-) I miss you lot - need to get another car to keep you company. I've currently got an RS6 in the garage and a Brabus Merc on the drive. RS6 is fast as hell but far too safe, not much fun and never breaks down. That said it's only got 150hp less than an F1 car, is 1.4 seconds slower to 60 than an F1 car and still get's the family, dog etc in the back whilst your watching TV. Am now selling it. The Brabus is a diesel ! - 45mpg and 0-60 in 6.4 seconds - slow by Esprit/RS6 standards but does 900 miles on a tank which is nice. Am seeing Jon and Red this weekend for a catch up - hopefully get a spin in one of Jon's many Esprit's he seems to be collecting. Also keep in touch with Fishy who as you're probably aware has got a Lambo these days and some decent chick to go with it :-) It's my 40th in Jan - do you know anyone that's done a day in an F1 car - quite fancy that ? Maybe I'll get in touch with Mr Hill again......... Cheers David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
