I may have soiled myself a bit

I've only just gone and bought this
http://pistonheads.com/sales/242288.htm
A year late, I'm finally entering Elise ownership!!! No more boring cars! I had to put off buying one last year due to flat buying commitments, but in a few days I shall finally be laying my hands on the beauty.
Thanks to everyone on here over the past 18-or-so months - I've been reading and studying like a complete nerd. No, I will not be asking where to insure it, where to get it serviced, or what tyres to use! I have collected so many notes from this forum!!
Of course, a day with Walshy is on the cards in a month-or-so, but in the meantime I am going to be driving like an old granny!
Walshy offers the 2 or 4 person day - Do you think it's really worth paying the extra for the 2 person day if 'all' I want to learn about is how to not kill myself or write it off?
Cheers!!!!

Possibly the nicest looking Elise i have seen. Also quite possibly the best advert i have seen for selling a car.http://pistonheads.com/sales/242288.htm

I reckon you've entered into Lotus Ownership with one of the best looked-after cars there are out there. Tony's a TRUE enthusiast and his posts on here are just a small element of that.
I know how much it must have agonised Tony to let this one go, but he's got a genuine reason for sale as the Exige S itch is getting to him.
Enjoy it sramdeen, get some driver training under your belt and take it easy in the wet (standard newbie warnings
)
Look forward to hearing more from you as you get to know her more intimately.

You'll have a mint car there - Tony seems to be even more obsessive-compulsive than most owners, which is saying a lot - when he's said P&J you know he means it!
The 111S is a great car (ahem, I would say that though) which you'll love using as well as polishing!
Take it easy, have a good Walshy day and let us know how you get on/impressions etc,

bugger. Not having much luck with insurance. Best quote so far is just over £1000!!! That's for 5 years NCB, private parking, no accidents or points. I'm nearly 26. A Plan are getting back to me, I have my fingers crossed. Quite a few insurers have refused to insure me even though I'm completely clean! They say it's because I've not had experience of this type of car before! They even refused insurance even if I was prepared to go on one of their recognised advanced driving type courses. Bloody hell!
Oh well, if it has to be a grand, it has to be
. nothing's stopping me now!

Try Elephant:

- Tracker Fitted (Only takes £50 off)

£1075 with £500 excess (no point having any less really)
I also have my GF on there as well, which brought it down by about £250.
