'Shopping Car' !!!!!!!

Are you a member of the Mafia ?

[RobCrezz]

Very nice!

Is the Esprit a v8?


Is the supra twin turbo?

Which is faster?

[karluk29]

the lotus is a gt3 (chipped), and yeah its a twin turbo running 409.3bhp at present (turned down so it runs safe fuel/air). close in a straight line but would say the supra may take it, but doesnt have as much grip though.

as for the shopping car, its got a fridge, bullet glass, reclining rear seats and floor heaters. bloody hilarious car, gets more attention than the other 2 sometimes, has to be hired though as its eating tyres every 5-6 months

[Stut-G]

What have you done to that poor Lotus, in your quest for power, you have forgottrn to paint it.........looks llike its still in primer!

[karluk29]

omg,,,another, go and join the beardies thankyou LMAO

and can we please have the others out in the open:-
1. omg youve modded a lotus (its not the only one on earth and mine lol)
2. its primer (its actually a pug colour and also 99% the same as the new murci)
3. you have messed with the loti suspension (im not a gt racer, and looks better lowered)
4. you messed the lines of the car (nope i made them smoother, no handles, waist band etc)

right there the usual ones LOL, anymore?

makes me smile now, and most ppl that say these things drive 1.0 micra's. (nothing
agaisnt micras btw)

[flattotheboards]

wasnt your lotus featured in redline a while ago?

[Altrezia]

not a fan of any of the styling on those cars, but a great choice of cars none-the-less.

[karluk29]

yeah it was in redline, was a little different then, been on a few things, 5th gear,redline,lotus dvd,0-60 dvd,shows, yes i am a attention whore LOL

as for the styling, you eithier like modded cars or you dont, its a personal thing. if you want to stand out you have to be different, 50% of ppl will not like it, but i have learned that thats there decision. no right or wrong. i havent got the money to buy a lp640 roadster to make a impact so i work with what i have got, in a car park full of esprits i still stand out, that was my aim, to get a fairly rare car and then make it stand out more. alot of ppl say, "what have you done", "its shite", "you a t#at for doing that", even as far as physical threats on email (some ppl have sad sad lifes). but most ppl that see it in person do say its looks better in real life. they always like at least 1 or 2 things on it even if not all the things. even went to the lotus factory and they commented that a few things i had done they wanted to do but didnt have the money at the time.

[Mattmeister]

ive always been an esprit fan and think what youve done looks v

(not sure about the door mirrors but its all personal preference at the end of t' day...)

[karluk29]

ha ha the door mirrors, well thats a issue i have aswell, as i wanted cams instead but they would cost more than i thought, my new mirrors arrive next week, the same style but with longer stalks and the mirror is another half bigger again, with moulded LED strip on the back, to make it look more modern/factory.

thanx

[BJG1]

I really like the look of the Esprit, the wheels are gorgeous and the exterior mods do give it some smooth lines, I'm not a big fan of the colour, but it doesn't seem a colour thats going to be flattering in pictures, I find a lot of lighter colours that are a bit unusual look much better in the flesh.

[karluk29]

to be honest i would love it re-sprayed black, and a change to the back bumper and exhaust aswell, im happy with the side and front. all money these cars lol. luckily its silly cheap to run, cheper than you average focus.

Have to agree on the second line!!

Nice set of cars...whats with all these 'bling' alloys on your cars though?

[karluk29]

gazboy - i see you own a girls car aswell (a supra he he he - well my misses owns one)

dont think the veilside would fit but hey lets try "goes to fetch the glue and tape".

the spoiler i would love is actually from a supe, its on boneyards (if you know him - got a stickered up blue/silver rep of a rc car in japan with reverse stickers) its a carbon blade type wing, it may even be veilside but im not sure.

as for all the bling rims, it has to be done on a merc lol, trouble is its going to be highered this week (i know the shame, not sure if i can hold my head up in public) its destroying tyres, had to buy xxl tyres as the thing is 2.5 tonnes, went through a set in under 6 months not inc blowouts on the old tyres, so as its the everyday mess car, we decided to bite the bullet and put it standard ride height to save the tyres and our pockets.

[Andy_sx]

i love the esprit, im pretty sure i saw it at trax last year??? are they wolfrace street octanes on her? (im pretty sure they are and tahts theonly thing i would change personally, never been keen on those alloys, plus all the chavs have them, but thats the way i see it)

the supras looking pretty well done but im a bit of a bomex whore over the angular vielside kit, or a bit of abflug...

the mercs looking a tad pimp.. and with the specs (bullet proff glass) you must be woried about your mafia friends in sicily finding out youve been robbing their gear to flog on

[Mr MoJo]

A very interesting line up !! Personally I'm not a fan of modded cars........














.....however, for some reason I REALLY like your three Especially the Lotus.

[karluk29]

thanx ppl

wolfrace lol, im afraid not, there the only set of masitaly wheels for a esprit that came out the factory, they where specially made for a danish wheel company for there showcar.

and i didnt go to trax last year matey, didnt do many shows tbh, there just getting a little boring now.

[K321]

nice cars, what does it say on the side of your merc though? v12? or 6.8, i have bad sight, and what engine is it?

[karluk29]

it actually says DUB, as in "riding on dubs" bla bla, the mag and style in the states, (20" and above)lol.

its a s320, we needed something more petrol friendly than our old range, that did 9mpg this does around 20mpg and 28mopg on a run.
