I love that Cougar! There is nothing wrong...Nothing to be wrong about. No problem to be had here, nope. I don't have any problem.
I am also rather jealous of your garage, especially the lift. My back would love one of those.

It does save on the back and knees...cost was about 2800 and a couple 6 packs of beers for installation...Now if I can talk the wife into getting another one, i wont have to be stashing cars all over the area...

Dang nice collection you have there!
I suppose the lift is as much for storage as it is for working on the cars, lol.

You do know that LOTUS stands for Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious...And oh Lord is it true...Finally might have someone take it off my hands at only a 3,000 dollar loss!!!

another post of jealousy....i like the cougar (more of a '67- 68 fan myself) does it have the chasing blinkers?
a friend of mine has 2 Lotuses both are early 70s i think. but he said same thing about them.

All cougars from 67-73 had the sequential(chasing taillights)
I restored a 67.. They do not drive as well as the 69-70 cars but hey are bigger...I also have a thing for convertibles and cougars only came in convertible for the 69-70 and 71-73 models( which I don't like at all)
Love to drive the lotus everyday but there is a reason they all have low mileage on them...Something breaks every time you drive it and it is expensive and there is no one that can work on them except your self and the learning curve is steep..

That 69, I still remember my Dads 69 Meteor rag with that 390, awesome yacht, and it was HUGE! So cool!
Very nice group, and that shop, I would kill for a space like that!

I'd offer you a trade but my car is worth nowhere near 15k. lol
I have a major softspot for the esprit though. In middle school I had to do a pinebox derby car and I painted it green and yellow. Guess why.
edit:just saw that you sold it. I don't think I'd fit in it anyways.
