Blue Esprit 16/10/19 on the M4

[Fishy Dave]

On the off chance he is on here I'd like to say hello to the owner of the late model Esprit with the personalised plate. Enjoyed the friendly convoy yesterday evening on my way back from the Nurburgring, I was in the red Corvette C6.

Yup good fun, I couldn't tell what your car was from just the head and fog lights. I appreciated the flash of flame from your car when lifting off for traffic. I must say that it looked very clean in my headlights. What sort of power and weight is your Esprit?

[Fishy Dave]

A similar power to weight I would guess? Mine left the factory with 400 bhp/400lbft, although 205,000 miles later I'm unsure how many of those horses still remain! It's a hefty beast at 1477kg, plus myself and luggage, but from a rolling start I don't think that's as much of a problem.
I was gaining on you, but only slightly and not enough to see the exhaust flame out the corner of my eye.

Here is more about my car if you're interested: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...
