Not actually ripped any clothes in the Elise and I'm a bit smaller than either of the guys mentioned above but.... I was once driving my Elise roof off on one of those hot but showery summer days. I was wearing a Linen suit. Big shower of rain so I stop to put the roof on. Big mistake! One very drowned idiot putting his roof on (the rain heavier than a good shower at home) in a sopping wet creamy coloured suit. You should have seen the sympathetic looks I got from those in passing cars laugh

Sounds a bit Miami Vice Tim?

I had a 20+ stone mate come down to Le Mans with me in the Elise, that made for 36+ stone being lugged along with camping gear and clothes.... Both of us over 6 foot..

Do you guys find it gets a bit tight in the cabin? My dad and I are both quite broad across the shoulders and we struggle for space a bit side-by-side. No problem with girls on the other hand, though. Maybe there's a lesson there somewhere...
