2002 Lotus Esprit at COTA Car Show

Written by Ken Altes

Incredibly desirable 2002 Lotus Esprit at recent show at Circuit of the Americas. This beauty is an under-appreciated supercar. Mid engine, aluminium 3.5 liter V8, weighs under 3000 lbs. Before the recent engine mods, the stock Esprit would reach 60 in 4.5 seconds, the 1/4 mile in 12.8 seconds, and 175 mph. The more I looked at it, the more I wanted it!img_5927 img_5928 img_5929

Jeep Commando at Colvin Automotive in N. Austin

Written by Ken Altes

I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to visit Colvin Automotive although several readers recommended it. The range and quality of the cars and trucks I found there recently was impressive. Featured here is a 1972 or 1973 Jeep Commando. They are usually, in my opinion, ulgly – I really love the earlier Jeepsters with the classic Jeep grille – but this one has the chrome grille painted over, and it looks great. It’s V8 emblem indicates the AMC 304 V8— making 150 hp. I want this Jeep. jeep-commando-in-austin-tx-at-colvin-automotive-atxcarpics-comjeep-commando-colvin-automotive-austin-tx colvin-automotive-austin-tx colvin-automotive-austin-tx-garage colvin-automotive-austin-texas
