Should remake this for Xmas 2021 (or even for next year)  with a current car not the old outgoing model.

^^^ Not sure about this. I managed to drive just fine for 3 decades without the car forcing me to have the lights on at all times. In fact my brother and I used to laugh at Volvos and Saabs back in the day and yell “Your lights are on!” Good times…🙃

Popped up in the EVO archive today. Probably my all time favourite car video, filmed on my favourite road less than an hour from home. I led a LEGS run on this very route a few years ago; what a great day that was 😎

I had a brief chat with Henry at the 60th Anniversary do at Hethel (he was admiring Dave Minters 'oldest Elise on the road', which I was parked next to) and he said it was one of the best drives he'd ever done. And he loves Scotland, for obvious reasons. Enjoy the video.

An Esprit S1 doing the actual Cannonball Run in 1978.  An XJ-S won that year.

Here's the story about the Esprit at the Cannonball.

Grab a cuppa or your fav beverage because this is a long one but I really enjoyed it. I remember having a 6 foot horizontal picture of a white Countach on my bedroom wall when I was younger. Ignited the passion for supercars in general.

They make tractors Jim.  I think we need one of those Italian Designers, see if you know anyone.

Mechanic on a test drive. Oppsie!

Back in ca. 1990, a mechanic from the then Lotus dealer in Leicester did the same to my mate’s new red Stevens Esprit Turbo, when it was in for a service. It was written off.

I’m sure it’ll bypass insurance and be back on the road soon, with no history of accident damage.

Apparently the test drive okay, up to a certain point....

End-zo.
