Cross posting this for Greg (not my alter ego!) from the 'where'd you hear about S_E' thread

HI! Name's Greg,started with lotuses in 1983 with my first Elan(1964,RHD,DHC) then 3 years later I bought a 1965 Elan(RHD,DHC).
I was probably the only bloke around New York state that had 2 RHD Elans cluttering up his garage,one running as my daily driver and one "under restoration".
When I first read about the Elise back in the '90's I wanted one in the worst way,but it wouldn't happen until Lotus finally got off their collective duff's and finally sent the Elise over to our side of the pond.
I bought my Laser blue 2005 111R in March of 2005,and it would have many more mod's if I had a bit more cash in the old bank account.
So,that's me in a nutshell,I've loved Lotuses for a long time,both Elans are now gone ,but I have the best little sportscar a man could want.
Cheers,
Greg

Cool, I was in NYC last November, loved the place. My cousin stays in wilton, Connecticut so I had to drive there from JFK. Sadly it was in a sh*t Chevrolet heap of a hire car so didn't do much driving but some of the roads up there looked good fun

We had a drive 2 weekends ago through Hariman park/Bear mountain state park,lasted 3 hours...loads of twisties

, plus some nice "higher speed sections",we had a great time,and then a BBQ back at my house.

We did the same thing the year before only in Connecticut,some very beautiful twisty roads.
So yes we have some nice roads in my area
