Hi Guys.

I'm looking at changing my car for an elise S1, and was wondering if there were any owners in the aberdeen area? I can't find any for sale in the area just now, and I'd like just a quick look into a car, and to have a quick sit in it just to check I'd be happy clambering in and out of it before spending a days travelling and petrol to find they're completely useless for me!
I'm not asking anyone to go out of their way, but any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!

there are tonnes of them - www.scottishelises.com

I've got an S1, have raced them, tracked them, thrashed and abused them - great cars :0)

My Dad might be selling his elise as he's moving abroad.
He's based in Aberdeen.
Would you be interested?

There are quite a few taking part in the track event at Knockhill this morning. Free entry and free passenger rides, so just pop along and speak to the owners nicely smile

I would have been interested, but I'm needing to trade in my car, getting nowhere selling at the moment.
But I've got monday off anyway, so I'm jumping in with both feet and leaving shortly on a journey to find a new car. If it's uncomfortable, then so be it! biggrin

Picked one up on monday, very glad I did!
It's really suprised me how comfortable it is once you're in, and on the motorway other than the noise I'd say it wasn't much worse than the type R. Drinks less too! biggrin
I'll be going overboard on friday with the cleaning stuff though, and will get a pic or two up in readers cars.

The most uncomfortable thing about that journey was climbing out at the service stations hehe
