    Yeah, 1987 Lotus Esprit HCi. I was checking the timing belt tension.

    Geez, I thought the Monte's engine was a pain in the ass. It has nothing on that.

    Most of it you can get to from the sides, its just the belts at the front that require that position. But seeing as the timing belt is there.... joy....

    How do you like the Lotus versus the DeLorean? Always been two of my favorites!

    Honestly, if I could have either one, but only one, I would have the HCi Esprit. So beautiful, so fast, so comfortable, and such a GREAT driving car. All those said though, the D is muuuuuuuuuch easier to work on.
