A Dream Come True...

A long time ago, way back when (well, in May 1991 to be precise), I was very fortunate to have a dream come true. The stuff of legend, of James Bond and of small boys fantasies came to reside on the driveway - somehow, and I can't recall quite how, I managed to trade the MR2 and acquire a Lotus Esprit. A wonderful car as I recall, that was to last a full...action packed...errr...3 days.

Having taken delivery on the Thursday, being to drunk to drive it on the Saturday, I fortunately failed to kill myself and my unsuspecting Brother on the Sunday. A lesson indeed and one that has stood me in good stead in my life of cars ever since - I learnt a lot that day.

Fortunately the only cost was my pride - and a very lovely automobile.

Not for the faint hearted......

Since watching the 'Spy who loved me', I loved this car	It was odd then, some 13years ago, that I fell for a 'red' one..	The lines, for its time, were stunning.
The first, and last jmyney, was to see my Grandma for her 80th Birthday in Wales.	It stopped Wales, it stopped everything, it was stunning.	I was so, so excited - only 2other cars have moved me more...but then, I was young!
Too young....as time would tell....	...not that much time..A mans car with a small boy - disaster. Thank God I didn't kill anyone...	Coming over the crest of a hill, too fast and showing off to my brother, I lost control....
Hit several innocent bushes....	..and destroyed a work of art, my pride and a lot of faith that had been put in me to care for those that travel as passengers. Never again!
