Ed can't fit in it...I guess my boyhood dreams are shattered then because we are about the same size. being an adult sucks. I guess I will have to stick with what my British friends call "Yank tanks". No big deal, I am getting a Challenger next year from Speed Factory any way. But I always wanted a Lotus :-(
Believe me, it's harder in real life to restore an Esprit.
I'm currently working on a 1984 Turbo...
If you want one, be prepared to do a lot of work on the car...taking absolutely everything apart and start all over. From fuel tank, engine, gearbox etc.
If you are a tall person, try and get a targa version, or one with a optional glass roof, than you have a bit more headroom as well.
But, when it's finished, it's an absolute DREAM to drive!
I think that was just the lads idea of a joke. I read that Ed took her for a spin on his lonesome- probably had more leg room without Mike in the car!
Ha Ha- I wonder if your Land Rover is as much of a love machine as the superb babe magnet that is the Lotus Esprit. I'm betting that your user name reflects sexual frustration rather than sexual prowess!
They shown both episodes for the elan on tuesday. They might have repeats, not sure though. They totally change the interior, changed the shock absorbers, parts of the exhaust and a few other bits and bobs. It was a cool project.

Edd could fit perfectly in the porsche 944 track car that they built... Haha but the Lotus is way too small for the guy

How tall is Edd? He seems too tall for most of cars presented on this series.

It seems so easy on TV....

I'm thinking of getting one. I fit in it fine and I'm 6'1", and my 6'4" friend could drive it too. Ed's is about 6'7", which is why he can't fit!.

That sucks that Ed couldn't fit into it. Maybe the newer Lotuses are bigger?

I'm afraid you've been duped- the credit crunch has halved the value! of Land Rovers!
Now you won't be able to afford a Lotus Esprit when you hit your mid life crisis in a couple of years-LOL!
Looking on the bright side, sex ops are going cheap in the Ukraine- so you might
be able to manage that extension!
Just be careful about going down any back passages- you might get stuck!

Yes a Discovery is vital isn't it? How else would you get through the Matalan car park or pick the kids up from school?
