Just got my first Elise

[S1mon.]

Wasn't sure weather or not to get an Elise or a tuscan.
Drove both and went for the Elise.
Had doubts about reliablity of the TVR, and wasn't sure about the power of an Elise.
So when i found a supercharged 111S for sale, and after taking it out on a test drive, I was sold.
What a great cars these are. Can't stop driving it now.

well done mate sounds nice enjoy ,post some picture up of it when you stop driving it

there are no doubts ... only FACTS !

Cool. I was seriously thinking Tuscan a few months back, but sorted my senses and kept the M3. Sold that last week, and go to collect my 111s in 1 week. I can't hold on any more!!!!!

I hope I find it is as fun as you do!

I recognise that car and yard.
South West Lotus Centre at Lifton.
You weren't tempted by Phil's racing car then?

[kernow mafia]

yeah was a bit tempting but it's only got one seat....it is a very tidy well prepared car though
I was more tempted by the yellow exige he's got at the moment but my pockets aren't deep enough

Hello Kernow from a fellow Cornishman in NZ! (Well, I was born in Cornwall from good Cornish stock, so I'm cornish despite being raised in NZ)

Both the cars in this thread look nice.

S1mon, not usually a fan of wings on Elises, but that one's low enough to be almost subtle enough to work... perhaps about 2" too long though? (overhang)

Kernow: If you'd told me that colour combination, I'd have screwed up my nose, but that just works well for some reason!

[kernow mafia]

i could of had black wheels instead but i prefer the gold ones,i think they suit the car better

They've been trying to sell that racing S1 for ages now!! Eventually gave up and are converting back into a 'road' car....think they were trying to flog it for about 15K!
