Dream come true
Discussion
I've been loitering around these forums silently for a while now but, as I've finally taken the plunge, I figured it was time to post. Yesterday, I put down a deposit on a '03 magnetic blue S2 111S. Picking it up in a few weeks as soon as all the finances have fallen into place.
I can't wait!!

Hey ChrisJG, congratulations mate, we will have to meet up when you get it. You might just beat me to it as I am picking mine up on 28th April (17 days away, not that I'm counting 
. I'm currently trying to invent a timemachine (not having much luck!) as its surprising how long days are when your waiting for something as exciting as an Elise.

Mate you've made a good choice. I finally bought an S2 after years of hankering after an Elise ever since I was a student, and I've gotta say it's been the most fun 3 months ever! I just can't stop smiling every time I take the Locust for a drive! Mundane tasks like washing the car become a pleasure and you wake up to sunshine thinking "ah ha, time for a drive with the roof off!". Sure there's a few expenses along the way (new pads, discs, replacement locking wheel nut and standard wheel nut keys, quick shifter and gear linkage, not to mention A service and brake fluid change so far) but you're more than happy to do the upgrades as you know the driving experience is going to be oh so worth it!
Congrats on the purchase, you'll have a blast!
(right, how about that Larini i've been on about....)

A magnetic blue S2 111S - what excellent taste you have.
Enjoy those 15 mile trips for a pint of milk or newspaper
Cheers, Andrew.
Ha ha. I was just going to warn against that. Went out for a bottle of milk Saturday. Cost me £35. £1 for the milk and £34 to fill her back up again after a 6 hour
Oh, and welcome

Collection date is set - Friday 28th, same as you Crapper 
Tick...tock...tick....tock!!
He he, this week has gone pretty fast, so far (and only 7 days to go
) but I keep dreaming about collecting it and driving the car. The problem is they are so vivid and when I wake-up I realise its not real, still not long now. Sleep deprivation is definately on the cards next week BTW still no luck on that time machine

3 people collecting their cars on 28th April, it will forever be known as the Elise day(well at least for us!) SP60 hope you car lasts significantly longer this time.
ChrisJG - Might actually see you down there. Mind you, once those keys are in my hand I doubt I will be hanging around too long

Me too !
Probably not going to get mine until the 29th as it's a private sale and I need to travel a reasonable distance
to pick it up. On the other hand I could take a day off work.....

You know it makes sense
Ding! The day I collected my car I was driving to see a customer when I got a call to say the car was ready for collection. Phoned customer with a lame excuse, turned around and three hours later was at the wheel of my very own Elise. Couldn't stop grinning for days.
Congrats to all of you, and have fun with your new toys.
