These cars are a great bang for the buck, but if you can swing it, go for the S4s (although they're getting more expensive than the early V8's and hard to find). Check out www.espritfactfile.com and www.lotusespritworld for a gobs of Esprit data!

Heard someone in OC wrapped his F40 around a tree a week or so back - not too much damage, I could find his contact info if you like .....

Did anyone watch this on Fifth Gear. They bought a V8 esprit with hopes of cracking the 200 MPH barrier. They ran into all kinds of problems with the car. Gearbox broke multiple times. The engine blew twice. They replaced the factory turbos and make over 480HP and then threw a 100 shot of NOS on it just to get to 200. They never made it.
Speaking of running into problems - did you ever get your NSX sorted out?

It's a warning from the Mafia to stop looking at the Russian chick in the other thread -

I'm curious how its going to compare to the 07 LWC Jaguar next year ....

I went to the AM V8 launch party a few weeks back, and have the following observations after seeing the car in person ...
The good - interior is stunning, true quality and a real work of art.
The not-so-good - at a glance the exterior still reminds me a 350Z, and the V8 engine looks lost in the engine bay (compared to the DB9 & Vanquish).
For $115K it would make a nice luxury daily driver, but I'd still go for the DB9.

Now THATS interesting to know... I have a red top on my m3 (less than 1000 miles/year) and I need to charge it up every couple of weeks or so...
How did you figure out which model # to buy?
I pinged some of the Esprit nerds, and based on CCA and size ended up with a D34/78. Picked it up from E Bay for $105, although it seems as the seller TNA Motor Sports (in the OC) doesn't exist any longer. I gave them a call tonight to see if they could recommend a battery for you, but alas the phone number (1 888 TNA SPORTS) was no good

Don't know how much you plan on driving, but I've been using a yellow top "deep cycle" as I don't drive that frequently, and after two years it starts everytime time - highly recommended.

Thinking about buying this truck.
Anyone have any info on the new RR Sport and/or overall Land Rover ownership?
Thanks.
Cherm, what general area are you located in?

Im a member of the Lotus List, and as of right now, im getting yelled at, because get this, of the way i drive my car, im setting up the next owner for BIG repair bills!
Ignore them, there's a vocal few who are a bunch of old women and arm chair Grand Prix drivers - Chapman wanted his cars driven, not looked at on Sundays.

Can this guy help me get into the playboy mansion?
My "ex" used too (maybe still does) plan parties at the mansion

Dude, just in that one run, there was a cow in the middle of the road, a tourist in a Neon came skidding in front of me by going too fast downhill, and i ran into a pack of Roosters. The corners are all blind. Go wrong, and you go into the cliff, go wrong the other way, you go off the cliff.
haha - I've taken a few chickens out (on Kauai) myself, guess they zigged when they should have zagged!

Love to sound of the BOV's -sweet!

hi, i went to the dealer to see the new lotus and all the mags say it 39k, but when i got to the dealer . they are all 47k . all 4 cars that they had. whats up with all the prices? are they all aroud 50k?
Thats insane - in California you can pick them up at msrp. There are also a lot coming back onto the used market right now, folks traded their boxsters and Z3's in for the Elise and now figure out they don't like them as a daily driver. I met one tool who's complaint was it doesn't have a cup holder and the ride is too hard!

Actually the wife just called me and left the RR dealership, she loves it and said there is no 3 rd row seat but its big enough to fit us all for trips and what not. So i think thats the direction we will be going.
You can get a fold up third row seat for the HSE here http://www.roverparts.com/ProductList.cfm?...PartNumber=8873

No matter what model you get, you'll love it, the Esprit has soul man, it aint no Honda!
Regarding the comment on $$$ for repairs - If you're handy with a wrench the 4 cylinder cars are very easy to work on, and in the past two and a half years, I've spent $1640 on my S4s including $700 to change the cam belt, now compare this to the $1,500 I just spent tonight replacing the ECU in my Range Rover and you get the picture. - Good luck and enjoy it :mrgreen:
