And it's pink Pinkers :-D

Good to see common sense has prevailed at last, you won't need those "sweaty leathers" that make your "arse look so big" to coin your very own phraseology :lol:

You'll be getting a car with a soft top next :wink:

Hoping to get to an AEG meet soon ( not next week's though :cry:

) to see it in the flesh.

Very nice machine.

I always said I would have an Esprit before I was 30 but that birthday passed 11 years ago and I still dont have one.

Spud will want one next !! :-D

Ok, so picked her up today and not got the grin off my face after my first ever hoon in my own Esprit!! James (Tentenths off LEF) came and picked me up and after getting my money from the bank (half a bloody hour, they needed 2 forms of photo ID, blood and stool samples and strip searched me for identifyable marks) we went to Cambs to pick her up. She's sooooo much better in real life. Even without her Chargecooler working she showed a porsche a thing or two on the hoon home.

So here's a few shots:

Sigh!

I'm in love...............ain't she purdy!

Kimbers,

Very nice motor, so when u going to track her :-D

Tony

How do you get on driving her mate?

I only ask because you and I are about the same height (I know Si is even taller), but I just can't get comfy behind the wheel of an Esprit.

I know the series 3 and 4 have a wider foot well, but I still struggle not to double dig the peddles.

She sure is purdy though...

by **Kimbers** » Sat 06.10.2007, 19:14

Sy,

She drives superb, though the Chargecoolers not working so about 20hp down, god knows what she'll drive like with more hp, she goes like stink now!

The S4 was the first to get a wider footwell, power steering etc so I have no problems at all fitting in and driving her.

She's lovely!
