New car

[purso]

Hi Guys,

Thought I'd share with the forum my new esprit that I collected today as I seemed to have exhausted the Mrs interest in the car

the pictures I have on my iPad appear to be to large to upload so if someone can tell me how to shrink them would love to share some pictures.

cheers

Need pictures!!! When they are too big to upload - I've found going a screen grab by pressing the home and power button together results in an image that I can upload.

theres probably a better way - but that works for me and I'm no techy !!

Congrats on the the new purchase, you must be thrilled, enjoy the car and may she serve you well, 

[purso]

Thanks Barry tried that but still no joy. Techdinosaur!

[Barrykearley]

Oh no - drip feed it then - what colour is it ??

[purso]

[JayEmm]

That looks sensational

[purso]

I messaged to Mrs old iPhone screen shot then upload

thanks James, haven't even got the car had it delivered straight to bell and Colvil for big service with belts so won't even be able to play with her for a while ;(

A great looking car, I hope that you gain much enjoyment over the years.

[Bibs]

Wow, you don't muck about! Congratulations!!

Wowsers!!! ?

You won the lottery Brooke!!?? 2 V8's........that's impressive.....mental but impressive!!? Lovely car - was the previous owner the guy that's also trying to sell a red Turbo and also has a Copper Turbo?

[purso]

Definitely not won the lottery mate my other one will probably be leaving me in the not too distant future so if anyone wants an unbelieverably tidy v8 with a great spec sport seats blue engine ap racing brakes etc pm me.

the guy who I bought it from is a lotus nut as I understand he has a sizeable collection what it contains I'm not sure, he recently sold a Europa but that's all I know.  I think his cars are all black though.

[Barrykearley]

Wow that's a really really nice example...... Enjoy it !!

defo ticks the boxes of something interesting

Aaah, now I get it Brooke

You finally decided that yellow wasn't your colour, eh?

Beautiful car, you must be so chuffed.

Get some JPS wrap on it for the summer buddy

Thanks Barry & Andy, Really excited to take her through her paces as have literally driven the car 400 yards. The car is supposedly the 9th from last esprit to ever leave the factory so got a bit of a story with the car.

[swindon_alan]

What colour is the interior Brooke? Can't quite make it out. If it's black I might go all soggy...

[Bibs]

Get some tissues Alan...

[purso]

Funny you say that I have thought I could possibly do it but I am not sure it would suit the rounder lines of the newer cars.  At least I could take it off if I didn't like it so possibly.  I'm one step there with the filler cap.

[swindon_alan]

The Andretti tribute above is a '97 V8. Trust me, it looks f***ing awesome! The "e" on the filler cap is the Queen's Award for Enterprise mark that was on all Lotus cars at the time (I think). Of course, you would have to remove that and replace it with an Elf logo

That is my car mate I thought  it was all stock but bow to your superior knowledge.

Just soiled myself

Erm, fancy a direct swap for a V8 in gorgeous Lotus Racing Green? It's a much better colour. Honest

[purso]

Done

[swindon_alan]

Seriously, if I was buying my car now and I had yours and mine sat in front of me I really, really, really wouldn't know which one to go for

...that way lies insanity...
