Hi Folks, recently bought my 1st Elise on Ebay - a Titanium S1 - and drove it back from Manchester. What a day! 
A friendly Exige driver flew out of nowhere near Carlisle and guided me to the A702 exit. Never driven anything so much fun nor had the acknowledgement waves and flashes before!!
On a sad note, I put all the rattles and bumps on the way home down to the design of the car however, there were a few things needing done (cat collapse and steering rack)
. They're done now though, thanks to Falkand in Glenrothes, and the car is even better than I thought albeit my Ebay bargain has now now turned out to be reasonably priced 
Keeping it garaged for weekends and occassional week nights when the withdrawal symptons kick in. Have been reading the site for a couple of weeks and enjoyed the banter. I may go for the KH training, as it's now scared me twice in the wet 
PS saw a white Exige
today leaving Elie - anyone on here? Also, another Titanium S1 in Dunfermline about 4.30pm? (Oh, and a silver S1 one yesterday about 3pm near Queen Margaret??)

I will sleep easier tonight and will be sure to tell the missus I was not diddled. The steering rack was reconditioned and a de cat fitted via Elise Parts which made it cheaper so at least the bill was not as extorionate as it could've been. The other brucey bonus was that it was only the cat mounting that had collapsed so the oringinal cat will still do for MOT purposes
Sorry, Queen Margaret (or 'Mags') is an area in Dunfermline - I should've made that clear. C'mon, I'm new to this - nearly 3/4 way through ma beers though so catching your drift!
