Hi, thought it was about time i showed some pics of the new car smile

I'm amazed by the public reaction to it, and the girls, well they seem to love it!

Will take some better pics when I remember my camera on a hoon out...
Well here we go.














Well, thanks for looking and I promise some better pics at a later date smile

Fantastic matey, it looks spot on. Love it with the black wheels (an idea I might copy!)

Thanks for the compliments.
Black and red seems to be the theme at the moment with the Tvr sporting the same racing colours!

As for the photos, top of kirkstone pass and also top of hartside.
Both great roads anyway but in the Elise they are amazing!

Lovely car, I always preferred the looks of the S1 but I must admit the S2 is really growing on me

'51 plate would be a Rover K series.

Do it. I even managed to make a case financially (cheap to run, doesn't depreciate like a normal car)

That was the angle I went for, good MPG and I would imagine not a lot of depreciation.

Find my self going for late night runs just to pick up a bar of chocolate or a magazine.
Any excuse for a drive out, can't help but walk away from the car and keep looking back at it.

Looks rather lovely when parked at the local supermarket, all the lights shining on it and parked next to Euro boxes that cost almost twice as much and look half as good smile

Very nice. Who owns the "Daft" car parked in front of yours in your drive? Please tell me an old person and not you.

I'm glad someone else does this and a sign that you really love your car. I used to look back at my supercharged MX5. Sigh.....

The daft car is the previos owners mums!
My parents have a Citroën ds3 and an mx5.
We have a griff and a GTV.
Will get some pics of the family all together at some point!

As for turning around and looking, what's the point in buying a car that you wouldn't do that?
2nd most expensive purchase ever.
If I were to build my own house I would have an inlaid glass garage, cars are art!
