Good to meet you Fonzey, shame about the weather! Roll on spring we can get a yorkshire meet sorted.

Not my pics, but some drone shots from the SELOC run to Hayling Island yesterday morning.

One from a recent driving trip to Wales:



After a load of money it is pretty much at my perfect spec for a road racer. Can't see me ever selling this thing. It's loud, raw and rather wonderful.

Haha. Very good.

I love these pictures. They encapsulate, for me, what a Lotus is for. They exist purely for having fun. As toy cars do for a child.

[simonpieman]

And I mean that in a good way.

I love the group pics, all out having fun, I see cream cakes as I did with TVR's, yum yum

I don't get it

Incidently I drove to that car park twice in the first week I had my Elise (via Ockham Common). Happy memories

Love that.

I prefer plain old ventilated discs these days but great looking car, I bet it's a great drive.

Best post a couple in here I guess

Thanks and yes it is an absolute cracker to drive. Louder and more focused than my Caterham but to be honest fairly borderline as a road car- it's quite hardcore

With the standard Sport 160 mapping, relatively firm Nitrons and Quaife straight cut box it is a pain at low speeds. But truly comes alive when 'on it'.

Very much a car of 2 personalities but thoroughly absorbing and I love it!

Seen you have an air cooled 911 - how does it compare for fun against the Elise?

Lovely car, but I'm intrigued by your house - what is the curved area on the left as we see it used for? Are there windows on the first floor?
