Hello! I probably don't count just yet as an elise owner BUT I am picking up my lovely elise 111s on saturday! I am very excited... ever since my big brother got a mark one elise a few years back I have been yearning, nay lusting after one!! what a sexy bit of kit I must say! took a test drive in it yesterday... wow! I am so looking forward to some serious driving fun... can't wait!
Hope to see some of you about on the roads! I am based in Inverness where apparently we have some of the best driving roads in the country.. so here's hoping!
CatrionaD. xx.

Catriona,
Where are you based in Inverness ?
There is the upcoming MexiTowers tour of Scotland on the weekend of the 9th June - a good place to meet your fellow Scottish Lotus owners and test out your driving skills !

Welcome along
I fully expect this to become one of those long welcome threads when people see your name, just ask Sassy
What colour is the car and where have you bought it from?

Don't think Fd is on here as yet - IIRC he's not a huge fan of the BBS format.
But yeah - cool guy and there's not much he doesn't know about the elise and how to fix them - Suprised he didn't push you towards a "real elise" (an S1).

Welcome Catriona
Fergus mentioned your car choice today at Kames, I think he may be just about as pleased as you are

I hope you have as much fun as I have had.

Hi Catriona,
Good to see another girl joining the club!
Get ready for lots of taken aback people looking at you like an alien 'cos you're a Girl in a Really Cool Car.
Bit like a Star in a Reasonably Priced Car, except faster. And not on telly.

But you've got the right relative to speak to if it goes wrong!
Hope to see you on a run or at KH soon.
