Welcome- saw the pics...looks great!
 
uhhh...sure lets go with that excuse /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
 
Sure, although I've only got these two....If your considering one: GO FOR IT!....I was originally a little scared by some reports I had read about them....But I've had it almost 2 years with no problems at all. I bought it as a daily driver, drove it through last winter(bought a second set of rims and pirelli snows) and decided I like the car too much to allow the winter to wreck it on me....So now it's become another weekend car, I took and Caddy, and my wife is driving the 61 MGA daily....I hope to have something else for her once the snow hits.

here ya go: I wish I had an interior pic...that really what made me buy it....For a modern car, you just don't see quality like this.

A friend of mine had a Esprit....ALOT of fun to drive....He used to be able to make it backfire so bad that it would spit out the odd flame. I've always had a seceret desire for a Europa,I've never driven one, but I like love the styling- kinda like a british elcamino /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Oh.

I driven both the Lotus and the Chevy "el camino"s.

I think you'd prefer the British one, unless you needed to carry another engine in the back....


BTW. Welcome to cjm. Hope you enjoy it here.
