Tremendous roads. Lindis Pass was where the Elise ECU died when I drove it down to QT from Christchurch. Was still fun even with a chronic misfire.

Hope you got some vid of Teretonga Graham.
Sorry to hear about your ECU, where are you going to get yours looked at?
EFI Tech in Auckland do a fantastic job on the Esprit V8s, but imagine yr running some else other than Lotus? I beleive theres also a crowd in Nelson good for ECU repair too.

Must be my Lotus radar on, but I am seeing a heap of Elises nearly everyday on the Auckland area motoways.
One that stood out this morning was seeing a lovely dark red 111R on spag junction south bound with the early morning light reflection off the bodywork looked really nice!
