Let me ask the Esprit guys something...

When the new Esprit is released in 2047 or sooner... will you feel like those guys should get their own damned area to discuss stuff and there should be an old school Esprit forum? Just curious.

Well I don't really come here to talk Esprit... I come here to learn about the Elise, Exige, and 2-Eleven.

Well and lately to buy Elise seats to put in my Esprit.

There are other really good forums for the Esprit: LEF and Turboesprit, and now Lotus Buzz. So I doubt many will be finding their way to Elisetalk for Esprit related. I view this section for those that are mildly interested in the Esprit, but are really here for the Elise.

Someone needs to create a master 'Lotus Talk' website with links to all of the sub-forums like EliseTalk, TurboEsprit, Lotus Buzz, LEF, Lotus Limited Forums, SELOC, etc.

It's not Esprits in general, just yours.

There is a Yellow Espirit CA plate SW 007, parked in Mission Valley. On Santos avenue (off Friars) at the La Mirage.

It has been there, parked on the street, not moved for over a week.

Trust me. You don't usually want to talk to anybody who owns an Esprit. Have you been to one of those forums? I'd rather hang out at HillaryForPresident.org.

Most Esprit owners (well at least ONE) haven't participated in elections since Pat Paulsen stopped his campaigns...

Hey now, play nice. I attended several PP rallies and was all set to vote for the guy. The other choices at the time were Nixon and McGovern so...

As for the comment above, I resemble that remark

Careful mentioning other forums on this one, Travis -- might get censored!

I am not a fan of forums that exist to make money only. Support them if you want, but I will not.
