"Honey, we own a Lotus." Now, not necessarily the kind that turns into an underwater submarine (think James Bond and "The Spy Who Loved Me") or one that picks up Julia Roberts curbside (yes, "Pretty Woman") but a 1987 Lotus Esprit Turbo that our next spotlight guest and first time Vienna Cars + Coffee attendee, Mickey Konson, had fallen in love with after seeing one featured as a grand prize at a casino resort on vacation with family before entering high school. Fast forward almost 30 years to 2014 and Mickey was putting in his bid on an eBay car auction and finding out the next morning the Lotus was his and sharing this news with his wife. On this episode Mickey shares this story plus much more about what makes his 2L 4-cylinder rear-engine Lotus Esprit special, the maintenance he maintains in keeping it running smooth and cool, and the enjoyment he has sharing his love for the Lotus with his family.
