New Car Day
Posted: Tue Mar 01, 2016 8:15 pm
After what must be one of the longest car negotiations of all time, I traded my V6 Exige today, taking home a spanking new Elise 220 Cup. Might sound like a backwards step to some but the deal Brandon and Ian at MMC landed for me was right and it allows me to be creative with some other garage toys
Initial feedback on the Elise - although I'm running it in it clearly lacks the torque of the V6 but thats not all bad, it will encourage me to use the gearbox a bit more! It has a feel on the road that I can only compare to the Caterhams I've been lucky to own previously. Toxic Green is ace, the online photos don't do it justice.
Huge thanks to Brandon and Ian for their time and fantastic service.
