In addition to my 1 week old 2007 S, I also have an 01 330i with 40k miles on it, and the wifey drives the lads around town in a 2003 Ody.

Hers, but she's away 50% of the time, 1995 Honda Passport LX 5-Spd. 1-owner 98k mi. My DD (when I feel like rowing)...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Hey Jim, I almost bought those same wheels (on the lotus) for my BMW. Are they old 3 piece BBS RA's or something? My shop techer used to be a race car driver in Germany and had them on his ferrari so they unfortunately didnt fit.

Hi,

Good Eye! They are BBS wheels, but one-piece - proprietary for the Lotus Turbo Esprit...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Hi,

I have tons of pics of my old cars - Ferrari 308 GTSi (Quatrovalve) , '63 E-Type, Austin-Healey 100M, Triumph TR3 'A', MGB, Lotus Elan SE, Lotus Europa Big Valve Twin Cam SE, Toyota MR2, '68 Porsche 912, '66 Mustang Fastback Hi-Per, '70 Buick Gran Sport Stage II, '63 SWC Corvette, etc.

But, they were all scanned into a Zip drive on my old comp before it died. The Zip Drive was the chassis type and there isn't an open slot on my comp., so I'm gonna have to get an old external Zip drive so I can transfer the pics from the Zip files to CD-ROM.

They virtually all film images, so I do have them in a book, but can't show that digitally... However, this is a pic of another 308 GTSi in the same livery as mine was, but it's not my car...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
