After 2 and a half years of elise ownership, a swift sale this morning has meant my garage is now empty. Watching it leave the driveway for the last time was truly horrible. My last drive of the car was showing the new owner that she drove well and was as fantastic and sharp as ever. Gutted. frown

Off to get wred now and just hope our boys win tonight.

I'm struggling to choose between the Daewoo Matiz and a Citreon Berlingo. Hopefully test drives will tell them apart.

Cheers for the best wishes folks. These little cars really get under your skin, more so than the TVRs I had in the past.

Berlingo.

My old man's got one, and despite the fact that it's got a wheezy 1.4D engine, it's actually quite fun to drive. Get the 1.9D and it's quite nippy. Very odd sensation after a 230bhp Elise tho hehe

Ah,nothing exciting then. Hopefully another PH style car won't be too far off. If it counys for anything,I'd go for the Berlingo too.
