Barrykearley 6,968 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 So I'm not very religious - but today I feel I need to visit a confessional box. I've been bad - I have crumbled to my filthy and dirty desires. My dirty thoughts have overtaken the clean ones and for this I need forgiveness........ 2 Quote Only here once Link to post Share on other sites
swindon_alan 1,693 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 OMG! What is it Barry?!?!? S4? S4s? V8? GT3? LOVE THE COLOUR! Say two Hail Baileys On Ice and you are definitely forgiven my son... 2 Quote I tempted fate...now my Esprit V8 IS in bits...(sob) Link to post Share on other sites

internets 472 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Azure blue S4, come on Mr kearley don't be a tease all your life as you know what happens when you are known as a tease. Mind you a pint of Baileys later and you might go all the way I am sure the wife does not read TLF so she never need know 2 Quote 1982 DeLorean DMC 12 #16327, 1999 Lotus Elise, 1998 Lotus Esprit GT3 #2272, 2011 Lotus Evora S, 2013 Lotus Exige S,2016 Lotus Evora 400 Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Barrykearley 6,968 Posted January 15, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 @swindon_alan I'm staying off the v8 from now on - I almost promise that. driving this beast back from Kidderminster was an absolute pleasure. She's got a quicksilver exhaust - which sounds "ripe". Just needs driving and a wiper that actually cleans the windscreen. Just awaiting the missus to take the youngest to swimming and then I can sneak back out for another rub. A big plus - is the new swimming timetable means I have to take the eldest to worcester tonight. Now which car shall I take 11 Quote Only here once Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart Monument 790 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 That looks a million dollars. Great find. Doesn't look like it needs any work either 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Barrykearley 6,968 Posted January 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Not a lot. Just some minor fettling - use and improve as and when. History file that's as thick as a Grimsby dolehead. A nice workshop manual but she needs an mot soonish. Two rear tyres needed in the near future. All nice and hpi clear wearing original paint. Bumper on the front will need painting at some point - but that's going on the manyana list. Shes not been run for a while - currently at the relearn ecu stage !! I'm convinced the tps is needing fettling or replacement. But could be the ecu adjusting. im as happy as a two dicked dog and so glad to have a 4pot turbo once again 2 Quote Only here once Link to post Share on other sites
swindon_alan 1,693 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 I am so happy for you Barry. That looks an absolute stunner. I will say it again - I love the colour - and the interior combo. I guess this one might be a keeper HA HA HA HA HAHAHHAHhahahAH a haahhah PS proper dash as well 1 Quote I tempted fate...now my Esprit V8 IS in bits...(sob) Link to post Share on other sites
Barrykearley 6,968 Posted January 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 @swindon_alan it's bloody ace mate. Just needs some miles run on it to shake out any niggles. Which being an esprit I'm sure there will be. the dash I'm sure is different to my red one - different layout on the gauges. something was reassuringly nice driving it. Possibly not the worry of what might break ! Quote Only here once Link to post Share on other sites
silverfrost 1,390 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Awesome Barry, I knew this was on the cards, loose lips sink ships and all that lol . Proper chuffed for you mate, mid spoiler has always been a favorite on the S cars with me, and as said by others, cracking colour combo, probably one of the best other than chrome orange that is. Really pleased for you, now get some miles on her, and a cambelt to be on the safe side 1 Quote A Link to post Share on other sites

swindon_alan 1,693 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Just a note @Barrykearley, you won't be able to put your lad's flip out screen DVD player in this one. Unlike the later V8s it's got the earlier wide S4/S4s/'96-'97 V8 dash. I was foiled by this as well. Is it ok if this topic gets moved to the Esprit Chat forum? I think it belongs in there 1 Quote I tempted fate...now my Esprit V8 IS in bits...(sob) Link to post Share on other sites
Barrykearley 6,968 Posted January 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Yeah topic needs moving - I had some issues with the drop down on the iPad. It would drop !! we did manage to squeeze the DVD into the red one - will have to see what we can do - maybe we will need to do something different.
