Saw this car in MMC a few weeks back getting prepped.

Does it have an S&M style drink holder hanging from the dash?

Good luck learning to drive it - get yourself down to Walshy once you pass

Yeah thats the baby

Cool drinks holder, nice and shiny! Great for bottles, cups, cans etc.

However, my other half likes a wee moan to herself on occasion, and the drinking is a no-no at the moment

Passing most mornings! Work in Queen Street. Can't say I spotted any other Lotus on the way in yet, were you driving?

I was getting a lift to work in a friends car - my Lotus has gone

The latter

27 years old, and have never wanted to drive. I went go karting three months ago, and BAM - it all hit me at once. The car is for nothing but pure fun - a bonus is the ability to avoid public transport from here on in.

I have always admired the Elise - one of the most strikingly sexy cars you could ever hope to own. I don't think this side of 100K I would want any other brand new car.

The 360 Modena or its future equivelent would do me nicely - here's hoping.

Gary.

Through choice or some unfortunate event?

I sold it to free up some cash as I'd just bought a flat, hopefully get something else in the near future but just now my transportation is my feet!

Nice car. I think I spotted you the day you picked up the car, you left MMC and drove to Hermiston gate. I was in Elise behind you for some of the route.

Cheers

Ha ha, did you spot my new driver nerves? I was on my way to pick up some sticky L plates!!!

I was sh*tting myself, I really was. I think we waved!

lol... I can't imagine driving an Elise on a provisional... Top Job fella. What are you taking your lessons/test in? TVR?

I learned at 17 in a diesel Fiesta, and then 'thought' I was mental buying an Astra GTE... You on the other hand really are mental.

Looks almost as good as my Scandal Green S1
