Other half says if she balances on the edge of the seat when I hold the revs it's better than her rabbit. Never knew she had a pet. :shock:
Thankfully that keeps her in the pax seat..

Mine hates the Elise just down to it not being normal ! ie stiff clutch when very hot, no PAS...too much attention :?

Not really, she thinks it's cool and likes me to drive it, but doesn't like to drive it herself, too hard.


But... what is a PAS? :?:

Hates my car cos it's too difficult to get in / out of, too loud and people stare at you.
if you add it also messes up her hair, that's exactly my answer as well :o

I'm the registered owner of our chrome orange 111r, however prefer to drive the sensible car in the house - 330 cd M sport! Leave the Lotus up to Derek, however when I do drive it, the nutter in me appears and I then drive at speeds that I think the car should be driven at! Something to do with the noise it makes I think with the quicksilver titanium exhaust!
