Hey everyone! CarTrek filming is going on, slowing the next few steps on the SC-F, so now some British content. Big things coming in 2021 for the channel!
Mentioning Lotus appearance in NFS2 and not mentioning it has it's own game series with really entertaining and competitive split-screen multiplayer really piss me off :) This was how you spend your weekends in early 90's: svsoft.info/award/moXcmKajp7nZonU/video.html
One of my dream cars my favorite from gran turismo games
Boys I love your vids and always look forward to them but please oh please don’t fall foul of the politeness police with your smutty innuendos when discussing the project . I fear Someone will take it to heart in today’s climate and we don’t want to lose your vids
When are you guys going to get this thing running. I really want to see that video. Good luck guys
What a lovely car 😍 with all its documentations available. You should keep it in museum.
Pop the CD into a playstation or XBOX it'll play
I'm pretty sure I have the electronic shop manual on file, not disk, somewhere
Pretty women I remember that movie when he was grinding the gears in the lotus
Bottom up or top down.......what are talking about again! LOL
How tall is Jared!!!
With the body and interior work I would say NO WAY. I can just how much more is wrong. But it's content and your clearly getting a lot of comments.
Lotus lots of trouble usually serious
Bet you it will, can buy a external usb cd rom that should work
There was a G1 Transformer Decepticon Battlecharger black Lotus Esprit Turbo car called Runabout. His car was cool but his robot was a brick. He had a very similar white brother called Runamuck who was supposed to be a Trans Am, but he was nearly a clone. They had the same personality as Beavis and Butthead. Maybe yours was beat up because some Autobot kicked its ass and left it for dead. So instead of repairing the Autobot leader like Marky Mark Wahlberg in that one movie, you're basically fixing up a Decepticon Butthead.
I love Jared, like the big brother I always wanted
I swear the tail lights on that are the same ones on 80s Toyota Corollas
Nice.
Sure looks like the car from The Spy Who Loved Me even though that was 17 years earlier. Take it for a swim?
Did they ever say what they paid for the car?
Over here talking about 0-60 times. I drive a 94 geo metro xfi, my 0-60 is... uhhh eventually
Do a LS V8 conversion! No you won't be the first because Renegade Hybrid already did the conversion and will sell you the kit to make it happen!
oh shit i like this car since i was a kid, and now i realize i never fit inside because i have 1,95m oh dear god
I've seen jizz socks that look better than the body work on the front bumper..
holy crap! Look at the old hot rod tech!
The parts are going to be out of this world costly
If you guys get this response, I am watching all the videos on this Lotus rebuild. I had a '88 Lotus Turbo Esprit. I now have a '99 Porsche 996. I would love to introduce you guys to the GA version of the "Little Tail of the Dragon" Perfect Road for that Lotus~~. I know, I had one! You are welcome to come stay at my home, and we can do the "little tail of the dragon" thru N. Ga Mountains. Let me know, at (sgttom504@aol.com) We would have a huge fun time!!
Let’s talk about that MR-2 🤤
that could be a conquore car with all the goodies, worth loads more with it all.
Just checked the new 2021 Toyota Sienna mini van goes 0-60 in like 8 seconds and a 16 second quarter mile time
That totally looks like a hopeful build
Just as a quick note, the Esprit in NFS2 was a V8, and IT WAS THE FUCKING SLOWEST CAR IN THE GAME I still love it, and the showcase video with music by Rom di Prisco was Legendary
That shirt though! Gotta get me one
This was supposed to be the "budget" kinda YT channel, remember??? With relatable cars? Supercars belong to the other one.
Please let me have this car after you get it fixed and finished Tavares and Jared PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! LOL 😂😆😂
Yeah another super. SVsoft doesn't have enough of those.
Inside door handles are off a British Leyland Maxi, Allegro, Princess.
all dvd drives also read cd's, they are the same format
car coming with diagrams = mechanics wet dream something every car should still have but no, u have to take the car to its onw mechanic, no self repair/maintenance allowed
cd ROMs work with windows 10, you can use an external drive to read and vlc to play them.
What a total POS car🤢 Why would anyone have an interest in doing anything but having this towed to the nearest scrapyard🤔
I haven't read any of the previous posts what you paid for this gem nor do I think he will tell us what you paid but I'm going to make a guess at $7,500. I look forward to following your journey in getting it back in shape!
This is a score all the paper work is a definite plus and this car is a sweet whip 😀 👌
Need For Speed II SE brought me here!
Looking at the rear lights they seemed familiar and I searched it up but apparently it has the same rear brake lights as a ae86
Check out the rear light clusters, if I remember correctly they are upside-down Toyota Celica ST162 lights :-)
I love these cars. All the lotuses that Roger Moore used in the James Bond movies are sick.
Noone forgets an Esprit. No. One.
Supercar??? LOL!!
This is the car in the movie "pretty woman" that she said "it corners like it's on rails"!
For The SSE you have to go to a 94 Pontiac Bonneville. But I’ll save you the time, it’s awful
Hope it’s not a bad timing belt. That’s an interference motor and belts have to be changed out every 20k!
Lotus owners are built different. I am impressed by the level of ownership materials you got. Its on a whole different level. Whatever you paid for it, totally worth it for those HotWheels by the way lol I love everything about this purchase of yours. and being 6'4" I know I would never fit into a Lotus, I want to see you both sit in a 2021 NSX just for that head room comparison
Well at least tavirsh is getting a car with some class lol
I was hoping for more cylinders but still a good condition cool car
Man i miss mg cheap as shit lotus
Put the twin turbo V8 esprit engine in it for maximum supercar ;)
That is my favorite car of all time, The Lotus Esprit is the finest in British Engineering, a complete car. I wonder how many still exist? I still hate those mirrors they were suppose to be integrated into the door, but no. and the door handles, my neighbor had the V8 twin turbo, that car was nice
Why can't wanna-be motor-headz at least get the lingo right? It is like they have no clue that there is difference between classifications. Or they are so fake they have to use the wrong descriptions so they feel better. This is not a supercar. It is barely an exotic class car. Here are some real car classes of the consumer level: Sport, Exotic, Super, and Hyper. In that order. You don't even get into the realm of Supercar till about $800 thousand USD. Not that cost is the classifier just an easy retail example. The Lotus are fun cars but not even close to a Supercar experience.
faaaaaat maaaaan in a liiiiitle caaaaar - faaaaaat maaaaan in a liiiiiitle caaaaar ( shut up richard lol )
this is epic
This was filmed before the TV and hood were put up in the seating area . But yet it was released on March 3 🤔
It's great to see a car built from my own local town. Hethel, the birth place for the lotus. Hand built by some really skilled guys. Epic.
freddy failed the challenge. Jared said open the bonnet, not the boot !
No Jared, we drove the v8 esprit in nfs2
If you need to know what a come a long is...
k24 swap
"Everything is handbuilt, so nothing fits!" yet people will pay ten times more if it is as such.
Interior doorhandle from Morris Marina. Blimey!
I've got an idea. Take out the crap motor & transmission and convert the car to an electric motor. Even when new the drive train was junk and now you want to fix old junk. Either that or convert the car into a submarine like they did in an old James Bond movie.
My dad bought this new , always was something wrong with the gearbox... i give this one 10 / 10 for comedy haha
I remember and prefer the V8 model of this epic piece of machinery.
I look forward to seeing this beautiful car brought back to life 👍👍
Home made dashboard
Lotus Esprit was before DMC mate
This car deserves a full restorations.
88&1/2 anniversary edition pearl white and wheels with corvette spoiler 4 cyl cosworth Ford with twin turbos...
Cheapest one in Australia is $52.000 aud. Brought a c3 corvette right hand drive for $26.600 alot cheaper
The lotus Esprit forgotten? Not at all. At least not here in Europe. Everyone with the slightest interest in cars know what it is. And I wouldn't exactly call it a supercar. But an awesome sports car none the less.
watched more ad's then video, GG youtube.
Of all the cars done on this channel, this one is by far my favorite.
I've always liked the Lotus Espirit TT.
The v8 twin turbo model.
wonder if it smells of julia roberts minge from 1990 pretty woman
3:20 Sometimes I have nightmares on not being able to sit straight in a car. This makes me anxious just to look at it.
Let’s walk through more leaves. That is 🔥🦻🏼🎧
It’s worth it’s weight in scrap, nothing more.
Take the engine out! Because when that engine is in a normal car the timing belt is at the front /
Lotus actually means Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious!
Basic engine design was GM used in the vauxhall Magnum and Chevette HSR. Was originally intended to be one half of a V8.
Those interior door handles probably came from the Morris Marina.
I'd put a rally clock in that space
One advantage to being 5’ 9” I can fit in the Lotus.
An iconic super-car! This deserves the full treatment!
😂😂😂😂😂
Turbo upgrade😉
I need this car
They said Porsche right
Pinellas Park Lotus was about 20 minutes from where I live. I think they also had a Toyota dealership connected to it.
Thats not a super car thats why it was forgot about
That's not the bonnet. That's the boot.
Lotus - Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious
How tall are you ?
It's a James Bond car! Shure we know this!!
If you seen the movie taking care of business and you know what's up
No one who saw "The Spy Who Loved Me" ever forgot about the Lotus Esprit.
Reminds me of the Vector if anyone remembers that wild ride.
