Hi All,

Just wondering as most older Esprit owners tend not to use there cars for day to day commuting etc, i was wondering what type of cars are used, ie do they still have sporty cars or more sedate family cars ???, i spend most of my time in my van as i am self employed, but my day car that i would otherwise use is am xk8 as i love the luxury it provides on long runs.......so come on tell us all what you drive

Oh yer, as for the other car it used to be a Mondeo, but i have gone down in the world now to a 'W'reg blue pug 306 hdi (well its good on fuel)

unfortunatly, it has a fuel/vapor/exhaust gas leak somewhere, as i seem to be having problems with my eyes watering if i drive it , mainly my left one

The daily driver:

[slade]

I'm starting to wish I kept my camaro At least then I wouldn't have to borrow my mom's blazer when the 'tus is in the shop, and the water jacket on the chev explodes and the bolts break off in the manifold when I try to remove them

same color as gonzalos but with the V6 wasn't so bad actually They tightened up the handling on the V8 models alot though

Also mine wasn't a convertible

There's a huge difference between the V6 and the V8, not to mention almost twice as much power. Mine has been extremely reliable too.

Actually I wanted to take it to Willow Springs this weekend but they wont let convertibles on the track without a roll bar.
