Haha. Well, sadly, I do not own the car in my avatar, I just found it in the gallery and thought it looked neat. I'm still putting money away a little (very little) at a time for my Lotus. By some strange circumstance, a Chili Red '06 Elise has popped up at a local dealership (Loti are about as rare as snow down herein Louisiana), and, though it's far out of the reach of my budget, I've been by every day to admire that gorgeous little car. I've driven it twice, and was astounded by the lateral G's you can pile on before the car even begins to complain. This one had the sport pack, and those A048's, so that might've contributed a lot to the experience, but I was AMAZED to see just how quickly 190hp can get you moving in 2000 pounds of plastic and glue.
My craving for one has now quadrupled. I must admit that you're doing a very good job of convincing me to get an '05 though.
But, I too will stop rambling. Best of luck Azskycop, both with the sale, and with the pursuit of possibly another Lotus in your future.
BUMP for what's obviously a well cared-for car.
