Carb'd turbo? Always a bad idea.

Modern "body kit" on a '70s car? Always a bad idea.

Bad idea? Agreed.

Don't mean to threadjack, but since we're talking about early '70s Lotus:

I stopped at an estate sale near me today and found a '72 Elan. 59k miles, original dead owner. Passed at $19k, because I couldn't find reliable pricing... they want the car sold by 3 today... thoughts?

When did it last drive? If it's running nicely, I think 19k is not bad. 15k would be a goood deal. All assuming it's at least running.

It runs and drives, but I passed. I think it may have cleaned up really well.

I took the picture of the dash first, before I started thinking about buying the car itself. A clean period dash really pops. If you have yours redone, make sure to get the correct lettering underneath the clear. It's such a proper, period look.

Seems like it was a good experience for you. It never seemed like a forever car, more of a stop-gap one... and it served its purpose well!

Good luck with the new house!

Idgi; what did he have after the truck?

A Ford Ranger, I think.

Then a 2007 V8 Vantage

Last night was the first time I used the spot, and it was pretty tricky with the neighbor's car giving me a pretty narrow gap.
Should be fine once I have more practice. There's a mild curb that you have to carry some speed over.

The 911 is a semi-beater -- not in great shape but totally usable. Not sweating stuff like that badge and the peeling paint.
On the fence about doing the IMS or just going with it.

Very nice, congratulations. Such a rarely seen view of a current Porsche. You can really see how wide they've made the things while maintaining traditional profile. What are the specs of this one?
