My garage

[Bob-iylho]

Been a while since I had all 3 bays full



1979 JPS Esprit
1981 Delorean
2013 RC8r (future classic maybe?)

[Drooles]

That’s a great line up. Particularly like the Esprit…

How does the Delorean compare to the Espirit?

Similar vintage. Similar size, weight, power, engine layout etc.

Beautiful garage btw.

I'm not sure that either the power or the weight were 'similar'

That's quite a set-up you have there. I've never seen a Delorean sitting next to an Esprit before, it looks massive in comparison.

I'm with you on the RC8, one day the world will take up an realise how special these bikes are.

Or the engine configuration.

Which is why I didn’t mention that, what with one being a V6 and the other an I-4.

.

Esprit gets to 88 mph a lot faster……sorry.

[Bob-iylho]

chalk and cheese.

The Esprit for a 43 year old car is still fast, responsive and agile. Handles great.
The delorean is like an american muscle car without the oomph, but I love it.

Lovely garage/workshop building, Sir!

The Esprit for me please

I was just meaning the Delorean is rear engined while the Lotus is mid engined.
