Hey I have one, spins up to 1600 rpm and had a 14kg load capacity!
Will be the only ultima I get my hands on (for a while!)

Knowing that about your washing machine is sad!
From the Saab Driver....You know REALLYsad?, I know the spin speed of my blender! Used to be an Air Bearing PM, fun was balancing £100k optics on the end of a spindle doing 160k rpm on a cushion of air about 10% the width of your hair. Fun until it went from 160k rpm to zero in .01 seconds and destroyed a bullet proof test case, 2 work benches and nearly a test engineer. Funny smell in that lab and then my office!

This threads hilarious, only just stumbled across it.
From the start a man wining about how expensive an S1 Elise is, how badly developed it is, how the factory won't change parts where he sees fit. I was very amused at this point, then a few pages later it gets even better, he's going to buy a Ultima GTR, possibly the most track focused road car available. also nice an cheap to run as well
A friend of mine was getting 4mpg from his, then there's the cheap tyres at just over £1000 per set, and then there's the purchase price min £30,000 and that will probably need some work, it's basically a kit car as well I know you can buy factory built cars but it is much the same. so the build quality is never going to be up to production standards. Just to clarify I'm not knocking the Ultima I think there great at what they do.
They are also completely impractical for any kind of normal driving, you need about a 30 foot gap in front you before you can even think about pulling away otherwise you'll run into the car in front.
anyway I've said my bit hehe

lol, you gotta love the internet where people make wild assumptions and it doesnt pay to buck the pack opinion !!!
i drive the same 81 mile country roads 5 days a week facing snow ice fog 4 months of year and they are much busier with larger 4x4 and people who overtake on blind corners, brows of hills and even run blinding lightbars..... deer cross the road , sheep are loose pheasants are just dumb and few would believe a badger ran into side of my car but it happened.
with hindsight its not a daily for an elise ultima or 20vt and my choice for this journey would seem to make sense in a swift sport ....
