New addition to SE

Post by Rag_It » Sat May 18, 2013 2:51 pm

Well being without a Lotus didn't last long..... :oops:

Image

Picked up this little beaut today, had 30 mins of roof off action, and then back on with the roof and torrential downpour!

Having gone from a 135R to an Elise SC to my first ever S1, it's been eye opening, and i suspect a lake is currently forming in the footwell as we speak....

It's only just done 40k, has S2 billies on it, so handling pretty well, cloth seats inside and yeah, not much else to really say. Depreciation-less motoring and a bit of fun at weekends :mrgreen:

I suspect it could do with some MMC loving shortly, but i'll run it for a bit and AA P&L was the first thing i bought it! :cheers

Thanks guys!

Kenny, have considered Campaganza, but have a meeting with a VC company in Edi on Friday, which i can't get out of, so not worth the trek up there for 1 night!

I'm just going for 1 night so that's a crap excuse.

Nice motor. I'm sure it'll be loads of fun.

Well played!!

Wonder how much more exploitable you'll find it than the SC? Also strangely like the colour .. Never thought I'd say that about a yellow car! Keep it standard mate :thumbsup
