Finally got an opportunity to drive this one in its entirity today and had it virtually to myself. Turnamere mentioned it in another thread recently and it really is fantastic.
Been working around the Roseland Peninsula in Cornwall recently and there's a road that runs from St. Mawes to Truro that if you ever get a chance is made for the Elise. Its about twenty miles of swooping bends, vicious switchbacks and flowing esses that bucks and weaves like a demented rollercoaster.Throw in straights just long enough to stretch fourth and you have Elise heaven. It makes the A377 look soft. I'm sure turnamere will be along to give you its number soon. Put it on your list of roads to do when you're next in Cornwall with your liz

Haven't got my map handy so can't add the number but second TIPPER's rave, but, only when it isn't full of octagenarians. Having said that in early spring before the hedges fill out you can see far enough through bends and onto the next straights to over take pretty effectively. Take in lunch at the Tresanton Hotel for a great day out.
