Finally got my first elise S1 !!!

[crazy6]

Got my first elise last Saturday (this is the first day I have been out of the car & on the web and I cannot stop grinning like an idiot !

It's a beautiful 'Nautilus Blue' 99 reg S1 that was advertised right here on pistonheads. I fell in love with it online and travelled down to Southampton to view & buy. I couldn't stop smiling the whole time we were looking her over, and the drive home on B-roads was fantastic.

I have been reading the forums for the last 6 months to get a feel for the cars and what they are all about and will be on here alot more now I have an Elise sitting outside my front door just begging for a nice sunny Saturday to go for a spin

Welcome to the crazy world of the Elise

Have fun but remember they can bite. Take it easy in the wet stuff.

Awsome! I never forget when I first got my S1 I just did'nt want to stop driving it, I love that colour on the cars, enjoy!

Welcome to the fold

As has been said... take it easy for a while, ESPECIALLY in the wet, treat it with respect and book yourself a couple of driver training days... you'll be AMAZED how much it helps

Other than that, welcome to the permanent adrenaline buzz that is owning an Elise

Congratulations
The S1 remains the more hardcore Elise. Incredibly funny on the dry and also beyond
Take care

Welcome, enjoy the car and the cameraderie and please take the warnings about the handling traits seriously whilst the roads are wet and slippery.

If its not raining or about to rain, get the roof off.
