Looks beautiful! Congratulations. I get mine back tomorrow!

I am a little confused, why were the mods done by a furniture shop?

AlexT is right - thats the infamous HBSOS - Handbrake Sleeve of Shame....awarded to the club member that span the most on track...i had it for a week or 2 before someone else got it...shame because it matched quite nicely in there

Bogie - you are the man - car looks absolutely fantastic - I remember looking at shots of your car just after I bought mine 2.5 years ago and thinking it looked good then!

Notice you've got the LED's at the rear too - very 2006!

I'm just waiting for my black OZ's and Yokohama's to arrive from Hangar 111 - can't wait.

BOGIE, sir, your car is the sexiest, most sorted Elise I've ever seen in my life. Period.

I have enough sleepless nights thinking about S2s and Type 72s in general but your machine is enough to make a grown man weep!

I had the pleasure to drive Bogie's car last Saturday on some B-roads near Snetterton.

The car is AMAZING.
The front Exige clam and the mods at the rear make it the best looking Elise I have ever seen

The SC Honda engine gives the car a totally character.
It is so torquey that you can drive in 6th with 2K rpm with no hesitation or complain from the engine.
Even at this situation, it is faster than my S2 111s on 3r gear at 7K rpm.

When you decide to actually use all of the engines abilities, the car turns into a proper supercar.
IT IS AMAZINGLY FAST

I have been a passenger in a 240R, was a passenger in the 220S at Snetterton, and I can say that Mark's Elise is in a totally different league
I think it might even be faster than a Noble M400 I had the pleasure of being a passenger in Bedford

Mark, once again, thank you for giving me the opportunity to have the biggest I have ever had in a car
I cant stop of getting such an engine in my car.
