Thanks to all the Friendly helpfull people on here I have taken the plunge... Yup I have Just paid a deposit on an Elise..... My first REAL car!! I Pick it up on Friday so prepare for torrential rain and wind and snow for the next 3 years I think I may just explode with the excitement though.

Just had confirmation through

Me and Gavin did a deal and I will soon be a Lotus Owner Woo Hoo.

I was thinking this over and over Deler vs Private, S Vs 111s, K vs vvc vs Toyota, 05/06 S vs 03/04 R and on and on and on (as you all know) well last night i had a dream . and in that dream i went to buy and it was already sold i woke up with that horrible feeling which once i realised it was just a dream turned t relief. The car is pretty much as I would have specified it for an everyday Elise if i were buying new. Right colour, Touring pack, Black Wheels and aircon (nice but not essential).

LOL... new car moment! Doesn't matter what you buy. Anticipation always makes it feel good. even better when it's something worthwhile.

I must be getting old . i cant get the Radio to work with my ipod proper. wont select a playlist or album etc just plays the whole ipod dang it.

That and I set the alarm off in the service station carpark. as if people werent already staring at me . oh and I didnt see a single other lotus in 100 miles.. Deffo a happy bunny though that and i almost managed to get out of the car almost without looking ridiculas ... almost. looking forward to the 3 hr drive home ... sets tomtom to avoid motorways ... make that 5 hopur drive home then .

"Special" thats the one word to describe first day in my own lotus.

Congratulations! Cracking car the Elise S. I had a go in Bell & Colvill's demonstrator this week while the shed was being serviced and have to say I was very impressed with it.
