A funny thing happened this weekend. The Esprit ran perfectly. No codes. No temp. No flat battery. When they are working, they really are sublime.
It was awkward.
My friend T.J. has a buyer for it. Apparently some brave soul was looking at another car and demurred. My aggravation has turned to fatigue and its being considered.
The decision to let it go is massive.
Bizarrely, the one person most against selling it is Nancy. Ether this is brilliant reverse psychology, because I know in her eyes the car is completely unloved, or she remembers the incessant whinging from the last time I was Esprit-less.
I need to wash it in order to take pictures. If nothing falls off it will be tough to let it go. I’ve given myself the afternoon to boil.
Watch this space.
Conversations with my Esprit 
Mark, TJ is an evil man to even suggest selling your Esprit. You and I talked about selling your Exige, and that was done for all the right reasons. But you love this Esprit, foibles and all. Just because someone is offering you money isn’t a good enough reason.
You said it yourself, “this weekend – the Esprit ran perfectly”. The car is coming together. If you sell it now you’ll regret the decision, you’ll fall into depression over lost love, and repeat the process with another DPO Esprit.
The cycle will repeat… What, are you going to buy an NSX instead? I don’t think so. Stay the course man, stay the course.
I am throwing up in my mouth as I type, but I am thinking 911…
What? Too common… more of a fashion accessory for most owners. And the public sees them that way.
You’re a Lotus man.
