Mike Ring's 1999
Model:
Sport 350 Year: 1999 Colour: Aluminium Interior: Black/Blue/Carbon Fibre Driving Style: Pensioner Miles per year: 3,500 Owned Since: May 2006 Purchase from: Private sale/ found on LEW and previously owned by Renu Serviced at: Esprit Engineering Other Cars: Nissan Patrol Previous Lotus': Climax Elite s1, Elan twincam s2, Elite 501, 85 Turbo G, GT3 '97 Why an Esprit: The finest sports/road car from Lotus it does Everything ! Upgrades: Momo 'Race Wheel, Fire extinguisher, Straight through pipes, K and N filters. Problems: blew 2nd gear , as a biker I soon learned the renault 'box cannot handle the torque......Forget 0 to 60 times if you own the car !! Quick times are for Journos to set!! Info: I patiently 'Dialled' myself into the handleng and 'Feel ' of this car mindful of the horror stories that are doing the rounds about V8 handling and quirkyness........I am happy to report this one of the best handling cars that I have ever driven. A very even power delivery is essential to smooth driving and staying on the black stuff ............
Just my opinion of course.......
