Yesterday was my birthday and....
Discussion
........I finally picked up my Elise 111R. I first started posting on here a while ago and I would like to say thanks to the usual suspects for the help you have provided.
Ownership is everything I had hoped for and I am really enjoying her. The 2nd cam is awesome and only now that I have had some real time in the car can I fully appreciate how addictive it is.
My only criticism is the standard speakers (however I don’t really need them with the sound) - any recommendations on replacements?
The pictures were taking with a digital camera and a mobile phone hence the mixed quality.
Old car + new car
I have a learning phase on my hands now coming from the 306 however the Elise is remarkably easy to use and drive. I obviously just need to take it easy at first as I do not wish to be in a position similar to the one I saw this morning; an Exige S MY57 which appeared written off on the back of a small truck !

Congrats, and enjoy learning the ropes....Nice one fella, enjoy it and the usual "take it easy" stuff applies.
If you want to upgrade the speakers (I would, well worth a few bob) then I can vouch for Infinity Reference, Janitor had Kappa's. Both are excellent. Stick in a decent HU (I have an Alpine) and a small amplified sub, and you won't believe the difference it makes. Well worth a few hundred quid if you like your tunes.

If you've got a Woodstock DAB54 Head Unit, replace it, it's terrible on bass response, I put my Pioneer 5800 head unit in, and the bass was instantly 10x better, with the standard speakers - Having said that, I don't actually use the radio! I prefer not to have it on (and I used to drive everywhere with music on previously).

Nice car - congratulations, happy birthday (I got a cafetierre 
)
You do realise red ones are faster?
To be honest it looks fast right now and I am not even sat in it, its sat in the car park shouting my name saying 'Richard come and drive me now' ) You do realise red ones are faster?
I need to get a job where I am paid to just drive around on my favourite roads
