Thinking about a Lotus Europa S2... Am I nuts!!

[guzzul]

So am I nuts?

If so, you have come to the right asylum.

I am on the hunt for a later-model Esprit. Probably equally crazy. But they are drop-dead gorgeous, and a whole lot quicker than a Spitfire.

Sometimes there are itches that just must be scratched.

We're all a little nuts. How else would we all get along so well?

I'd love a Lotus but my TR3 has more leg room.

TR3 and Europa cockpits are just about opposites. In a TR3 you are out in the open and I felt confined in the Europa.

Don't get me wrong, I think a Europa is a cool car, but the TR3 is more my cup of tea.

So the message I'm getting is that, yes indeed, I am nuts, but I'm in good company, so thats O.K. and I should just revel in the crazyness.

I spoke to the current owner last night. He is 6'1" and says its no proble once you're in the car, just getting in and out requires flexible joints. He said "those short guys have it easy".

I'll let you know how things go. It really is a cool car.
