My Elise was supposed to be finished up yesterday but I never heard back from them. Guess I'll get it back this week. (been in the body shop for a while now- at least a month and a half)

Ardent Red/Black interior. I live in Midtown. It will be my daily driver - I know, I should have my head examined!

SweetDaddyD · 12-02-2006, 08:51 AM

Yup that would be mine. Well it probably is- they have a bunch of them in there. I've only heard good things about their work. I should find out shortly. They put my HID's in (from Ekological on here) too so I can't wait to see them. (replacing the parking lights with the LED's seemed to cause a lot of confusion though, it doesn't sound like those got installed which is a bummer cause it would of been so easy why the headlights were already off)

Daily driver here too. Unless it's nice enough to ride the Buell.

Welcome Gary B! I drive the Elise to work more than my daily driver... I am in Alpharetta.

AutoGlo did a good job on my car (that wrh3 has now). Josh from AutoGlo now works for Lotus Atlanta, so if you need someone with an inside track, he would be willing to keep on eye on Elises they are working on.

Fastmini, I saw Dan at the track yesterday with his new BMW Z4M Coupe. Definitely a nice ride, probably a bit easier to live with daily, but not as fast as the Elise... and real quiet!! He was telling me about your getting hit just after getting the car

sorry to hear that.

If anyone wants to drive up to the dragon's tail this Sunday I am planning a trip. Since I live 1/2 way between Atl and the Dragon anyone is welcome to stop by for coffee and a clean bathroom. Mick knows the way. Mick, I may stop by your place on Saturday as I haven't seen you since my surprise B-day in August. I thought you lived in downtown lakewood? (j.k)

MickOpalak · 02-03-2007, 01:51 PM

Hey guys,

I wanted to invite everyone to our mountain drive that Lotus Limited Southeast has scheduled for Sunday March 4th. The rain date is Sunday March 18th. It will start at 10 AM from the Home Depot parking lot which is at the north end of 400 where it terminates just south of Dallonega. The drive will start in Dallonega and end about three hours later in Helen. I'll have written directions with several stopping points so that no one gets lost.

I hope everyone can make it.

M.

Gary B · 02-06-2007, 06:11 PM

I should be able to make this one. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Gary B · 02-19-2007, 06:02 PM

Change in plans. Please see my other post in general discussion. My new car is in the shop so I won't be able to make the drive. No one is more sorry than I.

Fungezap · 02-26-2007, 04:58 PM

I'm trying to get off from work on Sunday to make the mountain drive.

Does it look like many people are planning to attend? There doesn't seem to be much hoopla over it.

Mark

SweetDaddyD · 02-26-2007, 05:14 PM

I'm planning on attending. It's on my Calander and my employee can work for me. Yay! So see you guys in the Home Depot parking lot Sun Morn! That is the one just North of the the outlet malls, right?

chill · 02-27-2007, 08:35 AM

Also hoping to make it if the weather holds!
