Excellent car, excellent photos.

Looks great!

Smaller front reg plate would finish it off nicely

I've toyed with that but the mounts/holes are there for a bigger plate and I think it would look silly with them exposed

A few more that were taken at Le Mans, forgot to update this thread! Excuse the quality-shot on an iPhone at sunset doesn't make for the best photography.

And some under "bonnet" pics; ten man points available to those who know whose signature that is.

Got the car out of the garage for the first proper run since autumn-a polishing session was called for...





Nothing much has changed apart from doing a track day last weekend-it needs a set of tyres in the not too distant future (the Yokohama AO38's are knocking on for 8 years old now and are starting to wear on the edges quite considerably) and there's a teensy bit of play in the outer rear toe links-not much but I'm fussy so I'm in the process of ordering a new pair.

Here's to a good summer!

Lovely car & very nice pics too!

Great car, colour combo and wheels!

[Lukerevhen]

don't normally like elise's but that looks mint, especially on those wheels!

Small update-car is now running a set of Avon ZZR's which are excellent and surprisingly good when they're not red hot. Fitted a set of new rear toe links and it's currently with Essex Autosport for a geo setup.

Also got a slightly smaller front plate which still covers the holes for the mounts-it looks much better fortunately because the car is relatively small it disguises the smaller plate quite well-hopefully I won't get any issues.

I'm also hoping the geo will make me fall back in love with it as I'm having selling based thoughts...

Wheeled the car out of the garage yesterday after five weeks sitting idle for a clean & drive. Really enjoyed the drive but news at work today means thoughts of selling are most definitely back on the cards unfortunately. Anyone fancy a nice Christmas present to themselves...?

Photo location? Cambridge County Council in Cambourne?

These photos look like the ones I take on gran turismo.
WHich is a compliment.

Great looking car.

That's the one credit goes to kman for the pictures.

Thanks for the positive comments! Really would rather not sell but needs must by the looks of things. Advert should be placed in earnest in the new year.

I took a load of shots there myself, good location once everyone has gone home:

I try not to use this word because I hate it...but jesus, the stance on that thing is gorgeous! Looks fantastic mate!
