Hi guys, My name is Mark and I'm from Livingston, I don't have an Elise at the moment but am considering the possiblity of getting one instead of my Esprit.... I've driven a few elises and they're a hoot so one might be on the cards for the summer but I'll need to sell my Esprit before my hunt starts.....

Mark

Cool.. My car won't be completed in time for then I don't think unless anyone knows of a garage that will put a timing disc and a crank position sensor on the front pulley of an esprit, been totally rebuilt and just needs that and mapping to complete.. if not I'll maybe come along and meet a few of you guys and watch... Thanks guys

Hi Mark.... long time no speak!
I was surprised to read that you are thinking of getting rid of the Esprit... you've been at it for a fair wee while.

Hi Del, is that yet another new elise you have??? V nice!!! Yeah I've been at the Esprit for too long and am now and it just needs the crank trigger etting up and it's all done but I'm a bit short of funds at the moment and the thought of reducing my debts nd then buying an Elise is tempting me at the moment as an Elise would also be cheaper to run and own.... also the community you fellas have on the go here with all the wee adventures sounds fun!!!
I may tackle taking the pulley off myself and getting stu160 to sort out the fabrication side of thngs, may even remove engine and give it to him to sort out the bracket for the sensor too if he's up for it that is.....

It was mine... 6 months from new and I wrote it off, something to do with speed, water, mud, bend, slide, bang kerb, flip and double roll...

OMG, Del... I trust you were uninjured??? That looks like a bad un!!! I remeber when you got that one, thought you had a navy one not a light blue un... Pics explain all though...ooops how long go was that??
