Alright guys and gals?

Im Lewis, from sh*t EK (not originally thank fook).

I fell in love with the Elise when i was at the 98 motor show in the SECC!
So it sat joint top on my list along with the Dodge Viper

Im currently looking for either:

Elise, Exige, 340R, Atom

Ive currently got 2 old VW Beetles, and a Mitsi GTO MR (mine and my dads)

.-.a '71 1600cc turbo (Garrett t2 pulling through a 2 3/4"(or 2 1/4 i cant mind now) SU carb from a rover v8.

.-.a '67 ragtop with an n/a 2276cc t1 beetle engine

i built the 1600t myself, and am about to do the same with the 2276

stock 1600 bug engine has 69mm crank and 85.5mm b&p
my 2276 has 82mm crank and 94mm b&p

not that youll be too interested but heres some pics of ze bugs

71, its a boring car really, got its good side though

71 and a bug i sold on hiding behind mine and my dads toy (the spoiler was promptly put back on)

3L V6 twin turbo

71 and my mates old mk1

71 with the original exhaust manifold

but no engine lid clearance!

and the 67 ragtop: quite a rarity in this condition. totally stripped down just now

these back wheels have been taken aff, the axles shortened 6.5" either side to fit 295 x 50 x 15s

replacements

get that front beam to the deck!

Cheers to Nizzy of Jigs and Fixtures for tipping me off about the forum

mate
IMHO , you're better off with an S1 if its an occasional drive. S2 if its a daily drive (biased i know).
you seem to be quite handy around cars so the S1 it is
Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious

Anyway, that would have been the one you fell in love with originally!
