    I have my eyes on a new toy and maybe looking to sell my 1987 countach. Alot of you know my car so i just wanted to let guys know in case anyone is interested or knows anyone. Looking at a few cars actually. Final edition lotus esprit v8 twin turbo , Early diablo and the 06 lotus exige. Anyway the countach is not listed anywhere yet, and i may keep it its still early in the process just putting it out there. If anyoe needs info they can e-mail me at [email protected] . See you boyz in the spring.

    Matt, I freaking love your car man!!! Dude, she's a keeper don't sell. Personally, I would NOT recommend the Espirit, cause it's reliability will make a Ferrari look like a Lexus.

    Also I thought the new Exige is not due until Spring of '07.

    The Esprit is that bad? I was looking at that car at the same time as the Viper. Did not know they were that bad. I did not like the fact that they were such a small company and that turned me off.

    Matty - Keep that badass Lambo!!! A Countach is a rarity, and a white Countach in mint condition is extremely rare. But if you must scratch the itch to change, then go with a Diablo.

    Matt - as you can see we're all big fans of your car. Hopefully you'll get a chance to keep her. If not, be sure to pass her on to somebody that'll take care of her.

    Good luck with your decision.

    Matty,

    I understand your decision not to include a Ferrari 328 on your list. It's way too much car for anyone really. ;)

    Yeah Matt, now that Bruce scratched it he can't even look at the car anymore. Take it off of his hands so that he can get that Cadillac Cimmaron Diesel he's always dreamed of.

    oh **** Gus... remember that 4/6/8 engine the humpback Sevilles had? That was the epitome of POS!

    And Bruce, that 76 Seville was merely a glorified Chevy Nova - hot-t-t!

    back on topic... Matty you know your car was getting all the attention during that run to PA. Unless its giving you some serious headaches, why give it up? I say shes a keeper!

    no headaches at all actually its been great which i credit exotic cars and my mechanic wil degroot for that. Its just so hard to drive and really not an every day car. I will see what happens. I would love to leave it somewhere but everyone hawks it it can get annoying after a while. But i knew that when i bought it so i have accepted that. maybe ill keep her and get another car i can afford at the same time. (gremlin)

    No. It's not. "Esprits are junk" from people with no firsthand knowledge gets a little tiresome. It's simple not true. That, and one of the best Lotus mechanics in the country is in Closter, NJ, not far from the GWB.

    Not to mention the fact that the Car that was driven in Pretty Woman was about 10 or so years older than what doorsup would look at. Don't let the Lotus nay sayers talk you out of taking a look at one.

    First of all lotus is not junk. They did make some shaky cars and some required alot of service. No more than any of our cars from time to time. The latest esprit and the new one coming in 06 or 07 will be fantastic. I have only heard good things from the final edition. Hey they had almost 30 years to get it right. Besides an 04 with a warranty is better than 87 without.
