Newbie in Perth... half the time anyways.

Post by jeff593 » Tue Aug 25, 2009 12:28 am

Hi all,

I just traded my Golf GTS last month for my first elise, was just out one day, saw it and thought why not??? :D

Gotta say they are as good as i have heard and every time i get in it i smile like a cheshire cat!!

I am from near Perth but work "dann Souff" in Colchester.

Hope to get along to one the meets when i am up that way (usually most weekends) - till then play safe kids!

Welcome along to Scottish_Elises Jeff, yep they have that sort of effect on you.

I never even saw one live, was on the internet ten years ago browsing, next minute I was on a train to Berkshire to pick one up. You will see road runs and meets arranged both North and South of you in Perth, and of course you are no distance from Knockhill where we spend a a fair amount of time.

Looking at your Avatar Jeff, does work involve travel to Afghanistan at all?

lol - yep, its my fav holiday destination... I am like a tour guide for the convoys in my little land rover. (which has now been changed for a great big German contraption that is about as easy to drive as a block of cheese in the snow)

I have got an S2 111S, 2001 model. To tell you thruth i wasnt really bothered what model i got - as long as it was the S2 shape. I loved the colour when i saw it though , sounds bad but it was a major selling factor!!

Glad I am out of it now Jeff, not my kind of War. Did my twenty years with the Royal Marines then in Oman during the War there.

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.
