I got to see one at the ace cafe a year or so back, like you, realising a childhood dream...

..rubbish aren't they?  :rollin

Back in 1997 I realised my childhood dream and bought a Lotus Esprit (1988 NA in red).  Biggest heap of cr@p I've ever owned, talk about disappointment.  Looked great standing still, which was lucky because it did that a lot.
It was then that I finally stopped dreaming of shagging Michelle Pfifer, figured that would probably be cr@p as well.
Simon Green of Blue Peter fame opened the Ashby Carnival one year.  Couldn't see him as they drove him around in a DeLorean!

:lol

i think it was Clarkson who once said that Lotus stood for 'Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious' - the Esprit does look very pretty tho, esp the early (Bond Submarine) version...
