S4S280 0 Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Gotta say, I'm an old bugger and Lotus through and through. With the exception of the guys on Eclat/Excel - of which most seem to be here This is without doubt THE most friendly Lotus forum I've been on. Seems were all happy to take the pee a bit, enjoy the cars, Esprit or not, and get together at the drop of a hat. Information exhange on technical issues is superb when needed, and I'm covering my old forums less and less as they are increasing turning into control freak and bravado zones. Mostly young pups with no experience and no wish to learn. I'm sold - think I will always keep the Eclat Excel, but the Turbo Esprit never goes away in my mind. Even she indoors is happy to take that route now as it will shut me the **** up ! Please say hello and tell me tales of woe at Castle Coombe on Saturday, can't wait. Bob - the most happy Lotus bunny for a long time - cheers all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WayneB 2 Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 (edited) I agree with Bob 100% this is the Worlds No.1 Esprit forum And once we banish the Stevens people it will be even better!!!!

scoule 0 Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 With the exception of the guys on Eclat/Excel - of which most seem to be here This is without doubt THE most friendly Lotus forum I've been on. Yeh, shame there doesn't seem to be as much traffic on www.lotusexcel.co.uk ... everyone welcome to sample the ramblings of the most reliable Lotus they stopped building! I'm sold - think I will always keep the Eclat Excel, but the Turbo Esprit never goes away in my mind. Even she indoors is happy to take that route now as it will shut me the **** up ! They give up in the end ... "Oh just buy it!" was the final concession! I'm keeping my Excel too as my daily drive but I can't help messing with it .. PNM big brake kit, fuel injection conversion, will do something more adventurous with the engine if/when it needs a rebuild! Please say hello and tell me tales of woe at Castle Coombe on Saturday, can't wait. Black Sport 350 .. we'll be there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Turbo Esprit - Esprit Turbo Sorry dudes, although I love all Esprits, I'm an S car man by heart, SE and beyond, I'd sell my a$$ on eBay for an SE or my A$$ and someone elses A$$for a GT3 (but only in Chrome Orange - I do have my standards) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimmybondi 4 Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 They give up in the end ... "Oh just buy it!" was the final concession! I asked my lady: "What about a week-end trip to London?" (we are living in Germany) and she replied: "Oh what a nice idea." So I booked the flight tickets. We spend some good time with some friends of mine there and on Sunday (Surprise, surprise) we have met the nice chap who has offered the Esprit on Autotrader. So my girlfriend never really had a chance to object...

S4S280 0 Posted May 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 (edited) Nice to have met up with a few of you guys today, Dave (on the run down) Steve C Paul C and a whole bunch of folks I can't remeber names of. Looking forward to binning the Tivver and joing the clan - G or S flavour MPx - it was me that poked my head in your side window and said "keep whooping the Elise boys" - well driven mate.
