Elise back from Paint.
Re: Elise back from Paint.
You're welcome to try my one Alan (although it's only 135 bhp) - you just don't need the power in a 7 - they only weigh (roughly) 2/3 the weight of an Elise.
It's the nimbleness and responsiveness that most people remember and love about them.

Elise looks bloody gorgeous! Looking forward to seeing mine after it's trip to Castlepark now!

Re: Elise back from Paint.
I love your Elise, it's stunning and if I had the cash I'd be snapping it up right away! I hope it stays in the SE fold so in years to come if it pops up on the meercat I may be in a stronger position to get my hands on it lol... All the best with the cat, there seem to be a growing number of folk defecting to cats now...

Re: Elise back from Paint.
Alan good luck with the sale, am sure it will sell quickly.
Also once a 7 is in your blood nothing else comes close, cant wait to get back into a 7, fingers crossed the deal I am trying to work out will come off and I will be in a 7 very soon
