Bazza 907 1,063 Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) Just back from my neighbours as they've got sky TV. Thought the whole programme was good but obviously liked the bit with the Essex. I didn't know about the C5's either Bazza Edited June 25, 2009 by Bazza 907 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mayevora 1,184 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) Lookin good Barrie! Just caught it (by complete accident) Got in at 10pm and doing a bit of channel flicking and stumbled accross the programme on Nat Goe +1 I think, as a bit of luck. Car looked stunning on the track. (Have you been painting the lettering on the tyres again mate?) Looks like Roger Becker still knows how to throw the odd Esprit about. A credit to you.

Bazza 907 1,063 Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Cheers Ian No I thought that they only wanted to do some interior shots so I didn't paint the tyres. Roger Becker said he liked the car which was great. Hopefully the production company will send me a copy to keep. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ajheath 100 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Hopefully the production company will send me a copy to keep. If they dont I have got it saved on Sky+ in HD and will gladly run you a copy off on DVD. Car looked fantastic Barry a real creit to you, but would have liked to here more background, lots of pictures not enough words. It reaffirmed that if I buy a second Esprit it has to be an Essex turbo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dodgey_rog 3 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I saw it and thought the first bit was all they were going to do on the Esprit, but then joy of joys there was more!!! I thought his gear changes were a bit clunky in some cases?? Funny how Lotus did alot of consultancy work on the strangest things during the 80's, i seem to recall some tank work they did as well?? Car looked stunning, a real credit to its owner, it was almost like it hadn't been off the production line long. Quote Adding power makes you faster on the straights.

hopo 154 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Sorry to dissapoint but this link contains no nudity........ alas. Bt it does contain Automotive porn of the highest order; yep.. the (2nd) Most stunning esprit ever in my view. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgMNOAjBlw0 Congratulations Bazza Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathan 13 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Rather good (understantement) Such a fantastic car. Is that part of a series or something ? Quote facebook = [email protected] Link to post Share on other sites
Laura 20 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 It was part of a series I've merged this video with the original topic about the show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rodewaryer 0 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 So I've never been accused of being the most up to date person around, but this whole thing is awesome! I only got to see the youtube bit and will try to find the proper Nat Geo program (it was called Britains Greatest Machines I hope). You were very lucky in all of this. I fully understand the trepidation at the car being flogged about by other people.....but it looked amazing and as others have already said, does you credit. Way to go! :-) Quote Mel Gibson only acted the part Lotus Factory visit 1979 Link to post Share on other sites
arranj 0 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Thought this might be of interest to some of you as well. This is the first ten minutes of the programme, which is the DeLorean bit: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bozzzydmc 0 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) Cheers for putting a link to this clip up Arran , im sure the guys who's cars appeared in the programme are over the moon to see this The D bit might be of interest to some seeing as it has Lotus mentioned a few times in it http://www.youtube.com/user/deloreanclubCoUk Edited July 14, 2009 by bozzzydmc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bazza 907 1,063 Posted June 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 The programme is on 'normal' TV tonight on Channel 5 at 8pm. There is also a pic in the Daily Telegraph in the TV section today Quote Link to post Share on other sites
comem47 229 Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 The interesting thing I noticed watching the Youtube Delorean clip was the difference in headroom between the Esprit and Delorean for the same person driving. If it wasn't for the relief in the gull wing his head would be rubbing. Sad to say I don't see this program series on the US NatGeo site listed yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Does that mean I need to go back and delete the drunken ramblings????? Love that!

I need to just get drunk when the only technology to hand is a TV and a DVD player. I did complete not ever getting drunk again, but came to the conclusion that I was just being silly and immature!
