New Lotus owner here, and well, just new to Lotus's. So if I get the model wrong, sorry!

Spotted a green Lotus Elise (?) with the top removed on PCH in SoCal. The gentleman told me to stop by the site.

Also spotted a Red Lotus on Grimes Cyn in Ventura County Sunday the 16th. I was kind of surprised to see another Lotus on Grimes...

Sighting on Beachwood Drive in Los Angeles- a black Exige S with a vanity plate reading VRROOM. You were parallel parked on the west side of the street. You had Schroth harnesses too. Nice car! My mother-in-law said, "Look, it's just like yours!" I replied, "No, that's an Exige, I have an Elise..."

I saw 2 elises on the way to Hermosa on Saturday 2-3pm.

#1) ALAN! Serebo1! Saw you on the beach parking lot driving next to a big white van. I heard an nice sounding exhaust and looked over and saw a flat black elise. Too bad I was in my Merc otherwise would of pulled over.

#2) making a left turn off of Lincoln and ? saw a STi Elise with silver stripes and black LSS wheels. Don't know who that is...

Driving in traffic sucks, especially with a broken hand! If it was an Arctic Silver Elise with a soft top or topless, it was I.

OK guys, I suck at identifying both different reds and years, but here it goes:

2006 (?) Chili (?) Red Elise with soft top on the 118 Westbound at 5pm today. Plate was 4RARRY (sp?). Nice looking car!

(could I have more question marks in there?)
