esprit350 Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 I will probably go, but wont be parking the Esprit in the NEC cark park, so will take daily drive or train Quote The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.

esprit350 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 (edited) Went on Saturday, met Andy on the golf stand, and met Alan Morgan, dazman, one shot and mrs oneshot and matkutub at various times on the Club Lotus stand. Mat said he saw an G Esprit on the sporting bears stand in a sort of pinky purple colour and It overtook me as I was leaving the NEC sounded like it had a V8 ...

matk Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 (edited) Did indeed see this car. G Car in Lilac with SE or Excel wheels, twin exit exhaust and sounded modded. Couldn't get close to it so apologies for the quality of the pic but anyone know it? Incidentally the owner of the Pearlescent White G Turbo on the Club Lotus Stand was asked by Howard why he didn't frequent LEW or this forum, his reply "full of cut and shutters!" I couldn't believe he could be so narrow minded, he def sounded a little full of himself! Anyway take a look....

esprit350 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 cant see your pic Mat the guy with the white car just did not like modders, obviously like his cars original, so why did he have an engine in gloss black with red lettering?

oneshot Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 It most certainly was - and it was attracting a fair amount of interest. In fact while I was there there was more interest in the Europa than in the Esprit Quote Dave - 2000 Sport 350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esprit350 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 the Europa was there front and center and evry time I went back to the Club Lotus Stand it always had lots of people looking at it. Also glad we got free admission to the MPH exibihition next door, lots of shiny supercars, but would not have wanted to pay to see them show too small saw a two enzos what an ugly car nearly as bad as the zonda, loved the ascari..

Hairyarse Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Thanks to Howard and Mike for stopping by! Nice to meet you both Was a good show I thought - I spent a long time drooling over the Pearl White S3 Turbo - Owner was Bob Chapman, he talked a lot but admitted so! Got some useful (I think) tips from him. Was a nice car he owned. (I didn't like the red lettering though! ) Quote MK1 Volkswagen Golf Owners Club Well, had to get this one in if anyones interested?!
