New Esprit pictures - Can you spot your car???
Discussion
I picked up my Esprit from Yesteryear Motorsports yesterday...had a chargecooler rebuild, new rear side marker, B service and general once-over.
While I was there, I took a few pictures of Jaime's new shop...he has a lot of Esprits in for service and repair right now. I posted the pics on my site (removed the plates to protect the innocent.)
It was a fun trip...got to see a lot of Esprits in one place, but also a rare glimpse of them all in various states of disassembly.

Go to the images section, and choose the Yesteryear gallery. He's got a sweeeeet X180R being prepped for the track in there!

Thanks. Note on Andy Wheeler's Esprit. He posted pictures of his cleaned up and powder coated engine on this board a few weeks or so back.
They do not do the engine justice...not even close. I just about started drooling when I saw it in the flesh. It's an amazing job, and he's got the nicest looking engine I've seen.
Edited to add: By the way, these aren't stellar pics by any means, but I have them in much larger 1024 x 768 size...if anyone wants them, just send me an e-mail with which pics you want and I'll shoot them over to you.

Dindo,
I was like a kid in a candy store in there. Granted, it is a brand new shop. He's only been in there a few months I believe. But yes, it is very well kept. I wish my car had been done a couple weeks ago. As for yesterday, he had already pushed all the V-8s through the door. He had as many as 15 Esprits wedged in there at one point.
I really like taking my car there for service. It's not cheap (when are Lotus techs ever?) but he really loves the cars. Like I said, he called me this morning to see how the drive home was. He calls every once in a while to see how the car is, or to tell you about a Lotus event, etc. Great mechanic.
