Was there one for an Elise 24R?

Lovely car

Be careful until the summer running on those A048 tyres

Just make sure you go through everything with the car in the first few days and make sure MMC have done all they should. I bought my car from MMC Glasgow and had no probs at all (aside from a servicing stamp missing!!) but others have had tales of woe. as said elsewhere, do a search before saturday to make sure you attend well armed

i take it that it has AO48 tyres fitted alround. my car came with crappy pirelli's and i didnt notice until afterwards

yep A048's... the test drive was in the wet... so I probably won't realise how good the car is until this place dries up.

48s arent as bad as some people make out. In the wet their grip is progressive enough its just the standing water that you have got to watch out for. Just make sure you run lower than book pressures or they will wear out in less than 4k miles. I run 24/25 cold and circa 28 ish on track hot which works well for me.

Welcome along! - I am sure you will love the 135R.

Agree with Ed on the 48s. Considering they look like cut slicks I find them surprisingly good in the wet as long as there isn't too much standing water. I am sure my Exige on 48s is more progressive and predictable on a wet track than my S2 Elise was on the standard Bridgestones, but they still deserve a bit of respect on wet roads especially when it is cold.
