I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

Now, where are the sodding pics

Well done mate Car looks Welcome to the fold
I'm sure after only a few miles you've worked out what it's all about
Safe driving take it easy in the wet

Good Lad
Have been reading your progress with interest.
But as others have said, easy does it. It will accelerate alot quicker than your Pug (i'm sure you have noticed). But in the wet it can catch you out, as many on here will testify, and suprisingly at very low speeds.
I think it was said on here. But here goes, treat the accelerator as analog not digital.
Loving the colour BTW
Blaque.

Lovely car, love the contrasting roof.
We used to have an S1 111S before the S2 and it would be my first choice if we were to get another. Good taste.

Re: Buying an S1 elise
YEah I know what its all about the acceleration is amazing on it, just have to have some maturity in it. Also have to think about every single thing you do because it response to everything you give it. Defo been driving slow so far until I pick up what its about! Fantastic fun though with roof off today and wee spin tonight. 3 tanks of petrol though used and about 600 miles done I need to calm it. Pictures are on previous page I will get some more when my dad is not stealing it haha. The interior is mint too I will try get some pics

Re: Buying an S1 elise
Lovely looking car Scott and looks in mint condition.
However it looks as if it does not plastic covers on the driving lights. You need to put some on as soon as you can get a pair, as I guarantee they will get smashed.
