The big Elise/Exige picture thread

Is your house a lighthouse?

[Tickle]

I'm guessing an oast house.

Stunning Exige, nice colour combinations going on.

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?

Thanks.

The curved bit is the turret shaped staircase. I don't have many pictures to hand that show it very well - this was from a few years ago, before we extended to drive out a bit.

I really need to unsubscribe to this thread. It makes me search the classifieds for a new Lotus, ive been nearly 2 years without one.

I feel the same...

Just had a look at your car histroy - how the hell did you manage to get a Honda'd S2 111S for £16k?! (and then sell it for £16k!!). Even before the silly price rises of recent years that sounds a spectacular bargain.

Bought this today; pick it up in a week or so. Pleased.

It was 2009 ish when people where still cautious of K20 conversions. Car wasnt mint, but not far off with Ohlins, Exige seats etc, was converted to a race car in some Italian lotus series by the owner after me. I still keep in touch. It was my daily driver for 2 years and track day warrior. Best car I've ever owned

Always plans to get another Lotus. Tempted by a 'project' but I know how costs spiral

If I see something different / interesting at a reasonable price i might jump on it.. I'm always browsing

Europa (as it's a picture thread)

I'm living down south now, plus I would need something different to a fairly standard Elise, I would love another Honda Elise. Also tempted (wash my mouth out) by a 2zz converted MR2 for some cheap thrills in the interim.

Were you at Goodwood on Saturday? Me and my little boy were looking at your exige. We both enjoyed seeing you on the track if it were you.

Looks like a track day additional silencer.
