Just looking for a little concensus and to know what im, letting myself in for.

The question is how many points did u have on your licences before getting hold the the loverly elise? and the more important one how many do u have now?

None and none.

It makes me drive a lot more carefully as I know that if I drive like a twat:
a) I'll stick out like a sore thumb and will probably get nicked, and more importantly...
b) whilst I'm getting more comfortable with el beast I still recognise that my skills still need honing and it can and will bite if I'm pushing too hard.

Thats not to say I'm Miss Daisy but I value my car, life and license so much more now than I ever have before. It's sooo much fun I don't want to lose it or jeopardise it!

None, and now 3.

However - The mobile scamera that caught me would have done the same job if I was in my Peugeot, so it's not down to the car...

In fact, the breaks and traction are so good on the Elise that I would have probably been going faster in my other car, as I was standing on the middle peadal as soon as I saw the camera van... (nobody behind me of course!)

None and None.

It's just as easy to pick up points in a 2CV as an Elise... a good workman never blames his tools.

Last time someone asked this question on a thread I replied saying I had none and 2 days later I got caught doing 91 on the motorway!

So you can mind your own fluking business

The car isn't so quick that you'll accidently be doing double the limit. You can feel how quick you are going!
