You will love the Elise as long as your flexable and understand how honored you are to be able to enjoy and own a piece of British automotive history.

No, but we are planning a trip to St. Louis on the 13-15th for a long weekend. We'll check out the Elise, see an old friend and celebrate our 23rd wedding anniversary. Fortunately for me, my wife is as enthusiastic about the Elise as I am. We'll see how it goes.
Regarding the Camaros, thanks. I just pulled the engine on my '69 and have it stripped down to the bare block. I will probably get it to the machine shop next week. I'm looking at a 383 stroker that will make 517 lb/ft of torque (that never falls below 400lb/ft after 3000rrpm) and around 507 horsepower. AFR and Comp Cams have the recipes on their websites, and I found two magazines that have built and tested the combinations. All this with just 9.5:1compression. The 4th gen Camaros are great performers. We had a 97SS 6-speed that we really loved.
Oh and BTW DINK status IS great!
