Hey guys and gals, a big shout out goes to you all who helped me decide on the car. After a very enjoyable drive around two Sundays ago...yeah there was sun and loads of it, I decided to take the plunge, as some of you already know.

Here's my new addition...my 135R in Blue Mica, completely factory standard and with a bit of clean up here and there, there will be spanking and sparkling leze hopefully cruising round this weekend.



P.S. the strange shaddow to the right is shangani's leze trying to muscle in on the shot!!

Looks very nice Swiss! Welcome to fold

Driving an Elise is a lot like making love to a beautiful woman, you have to... (all feel free to take that one on!)

Enjoy!

Are those wheels standard on the 135R? They're the same lightweight rims as used on the Lotus Sport 111s aren't they?

Nice choice - looks good.

Now you need a Sports exhaust, induction and 4 into 2 into 1 and you should be looking at 150bhp

Throw her around a bit, rag the t*t's off her, make her really dirty, then give her a good rub down with soapy suds before leaving her out in the cold overnight


why did no-one else take the bait Janitor?? ha ha

Manifold - modified heads (like 135R) respond really well to speeding up the exit of exhaust gases. Cost about £400 + 3 hours to fit......

Nice effort

And I bet no-one can do any of the follow-ons without putting on their best 'Swiss' impression

Haha! Thats bloody funny... but only cos of the Shangers log in and 'edited by Shangers' bit... though still don't know who it is that's posting!

Could throw a couple sly / cheeky suggestions as to who, but it's all gone quiet over the bridge so best let it lie...


Ah! 'Swiss' just appeared at the bottom of it

Ah now thats better, my login!!

Yeap bought a Larini already..off some guy on Ebay who never fitted it, ordered some HID's dipped and Full!! Yeap only bit of chav i'll do..mind you more because I'm use to them on my co. cars and I feel the standard setup is poo and finally 3/4 plates on their way. Thats it for the momment. Until another good bonus comes my way.

Don't wana change much else really. May get a set of spiders for daily use. But will probably leave that till the end of the summer.

P.S. You can't see it but it's got some bad paint work on the front clam, which is booked in to be done, but just can't keep my hands off it, other than that I'm pretty pleased with the car.

P.P.S. You'll have to try a bit harder with the Swiss Tone thang....come on, I know you can guys...

...ease yourself gently into her seat, not to quickly or you'll pull your skin badly. Then once comfortable, gain a little momentum and rhythm before thinking of changing lanes. When you can see your way is clear, pull out and position yourself accurately and decisively into the next slot, ramming you gearstick firmly into place as you do so. Take great care in reversing the manouvre though... show her respect or she'll bite you hard for being a little too keen to get the arse end out!


Cripes!
