Hi Mike! That is a really nice looking SE! Are the skirts and spoiler stock SE items? Also, the X180 wind deflectors, would they be the little wotzits infront of the front wheels?


Spolier, front dam, sideskirts are stock.

The wheels and canards in front of the wheels are not.

Gazboy,
There is a interesting story behind MadMike's SE. I used to have discussions with the previous owner Frank. It seems in all likelyhood the Esprit has saved a life.

Frank lived in New Jersey and worked in NYC. From what I was told on 9/11 Frank would have normally been in the subway located under the WTC which was buried in rubble. On that day he had went for a ride in the SE instead of taking the subway to NYC. If he would have been there at the actual collapse of the WTC is not certain, only god knows that. But at the appoximate time of the disaster he was enjoying a nice drive in the Esprit. I know I certainly would prefer a nice drive in an Esprit than be anywhere near the WTC on that day.
