Lotus Elise S1 and before
Discussion
Right I've finally got round to putting up some pictures of my cars, past and present.
So just turned 17 and i bought a Peugeot 106 Quiksilver, 1.4 8v of pure poweeerrrr.
Fitted GTi wheels, GTi spoiler, Raceland Enclosed induction with green cotton filter, Colour coded wing mirrors
but... Needing more power....and reliability...
at 18 I bought a 206 XSi 1.6 16v 110hp, just added a GTi spoiler GTi filler cap and GTi 180 Wing mirrors (Gloss black and carbon) Pretty Nippy car but just a stepping stone to the real thing...
Well after swallowing £2100 for insurance at 19 i finally got a GTi, this one being a 206 GTi 180 Fitted Full set of SP Grilles, GSR Induction and Scorpion Catback Loved this car totally underated, very fast, handled just like a fast pug should - lift off over steer all the way
So after having the GTi for nearly a year, my dream car comes along, originally owned by my dad from new he decided to trade it in (after me saying i didn't want it...DO'H) for an Elise Supercharged, quickly regretting my decision i bought it back of the garage and now it is my pride and joy. Just 24,000 miles on the clock Full Janspeed Exhaust Pipercross Viper induction and De-cated and lovin' every minute :-)
Hope you all like any comments welcome

It looks just fine. You can tell by the dimensions, and the genuine Ferrari seats. Besides that.. http://www.askmid.com/ownvehicle/ enter 160TXC into there, and it returns 'FERRARI 360 MODENA'
