Bibs Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I'm off to Germany on Thursday morning and hope that I'll be leaving most of my liver over there!

Dave Freeman Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Bibs, he went golfing so - Esprit and golf clubs do not fit at least unless he was playing with a half set. Anyway, 170 eh, might be worth going to germany just for the ability to drive the car as the great Colin Chapman intended. Anyway Bibs, hopefully you will be keeping in touch and sending us lots of picys to make us drooool. have a sooopa time. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibs Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 My clubs (and indeed trolley) have been in the boot several times and in fact Lotus themselves said that a set of clubs fits in the boot in their advertising! 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.

Dave Freeman Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I stand corrected Sir, - regarding the 170, assume you mean MPH not KPH, would need proof if it were MPH. Not sure how top speed differs with different variants, I remember Mr Clarkson or Niddel was it, who tried to get an esprit to hit 200 mph and failed. I thought I had read somewhere on the forum that this had already been achieved. I recall they (clarkson or Niddel) seem to have a problem getting the car to meet spec at the time, I will have to dig out my DVD's and vidoes to see what transpired.

Trevsked Posted May 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Felix and Dave, Looking forward to seeing you both on Wednesday. Bibs, I take it you have sorted the few bits that you needed to do on your car then? He said knowingly. Trevor. I'll get around to it at some point.

dasherdiablo Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Hi guys, I'd quite like to pop down tomorrow to have a nosey round, especially if there are any V8's going - eith in SE or GT guise. It would be good as that is what I am looking to buy so may pick up some good pointers! Do many Esprits attend and what time are you there until? Hoping to get there for 7ish. Thanks, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevsked Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 David, Nice to meet you and hope you have luck finding a V8. All, Good meet last night with a nice selection of cars. Trevor. I'll get around to it at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esprit s2 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Nice pics trevor. Apologies for not being able to make it. I had a choice - Ace cafe on wednesday or Castle Combe on saturday. I chose Castle Combe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasherdiablo Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) Thanks to everyone for being so friendly and helpful. I feel much more informed now about the V8 so as suggested I will broaden my search to S4S and GT3! Apologies for having to rush off so quickly but got a phone call from my wife in tears that something has got in and attacked some of our chickens....fortunately only one dead but needless to say I'm damn annoyed and now want to kill every stoat/weasel/fox in the area so shall be staying up over the weekend with the 12bore!

Trevsked Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 David, You said you were going off to cook dinner, you didn't say it was fresh. Trevor. I'll get around to it at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Freeman Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Best of luck David in finding a car, I'd say stick with a four pot, only half as much to go wrong. In respect of the chickens, we could have a LEF event to help shoot or run over the offending critas. - Sure there will be someone who loves them who would object. Keep in touch David, let us know what you decide, if you find one let the forum know as someone may well know the history. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eds Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I expect Mr Freeman could burn them for you. Nice quadruple flames from your rear end as the 50mph on the M11 became 70mph Dave, just wish I'd had the camera ready! Tunnel noise on the 406 was good too - so glad I had the roof down. Dave.

dasherdiablo Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Trevsked, She called me just after you went in for drinks/grub. Funnily enough by the time I got home I'd gone off the idea of dinner..the mess was horrific. I hate vermin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
