Last night around 9:30 headed East on 66 in Fairfax. You were in a 91 elan, I was in the elise.

perryeyges · 02-17-2008, 11:11 AM

This sunday morning in the Berkeley Hills on Grizzly Peak Blvd at "THE WALL" @approx 9:40a. You were in a Storm Titanium Elise(nice), I was in my Chrome Orange "Elige Roadster".....

It looked as if you were a bit startled and were going to turn around but didn't..
Nice Cool AM intercooler weather...

At Streets of Willow today saw 3 Lotus. One was MlkF1 (is that the write screen name, but he owns trackhq.com) and a white Exige who were chasing each other's tails all day long. MlkF1 looked like he was trying to drift the entire track

MlkF1 was kind enough to introduce himself to me.

Also, had lunch with a guy from Sport Compact Car Magazine who was doing a review of the Exige 240 car. He had the car for a week already, so look for a review in an upcoming issue.

I spotted myself yesterday finally getting the Elise out on the road. It was warm yesterday in MA!

LarryB · 02-19-2008, 09:29 AM

Yesterday around 9:30 am in Mountain View CA. Shoreline and 101 a red Elise, about a 1/2 mile later on Shoreline and Middlefield, yellow with HT, Elise. Then a few minuets later on Midllefield near Central Expressway, what looked like Tintin on foot taking a walk... busy little drive.

Nightfall Blue Elise, I believe, heading south on I 95 just south of Baltimore, 5:45 pm on Tuesday 2/19, where 95 goes over the Baltimore Beltway (I 695). Hard top on.

Very nice car!

davecarama · 02-19-2008, 04:49 PM

Thanks! The Nightfall Blue was me.

I have my A048 tires on... was worried about the cold, but they are working great!

I will tell you what though, the ruts in that road! The car is all over the place!

I dunno, Dave. You looked pretty well hooked up in the 'fast' lane. You passed me right at the 695 overpass. By the time I got off an I 195 a mile or so later, you were out of sight!

I don't know that I've seen a NFB in person before (although I think I've seen all the others IP except Aztec Bronze). I think if I had it to do over again, I'd really consider that color.

Spotted an 06 Chrome Orange Exige going south on the 405 around Torrance.

Wow - first time outside a Lotus event seeing a Chrome Orange Exige. Good to know my car looks awesome when I drive it

SouL · 02-19-2008, 11:42 PM

Saw a BRP Elise on Alicia Pkwy yesterday. (in Laguna Hills)
You were coming off the freeway just as I was getting on.

Cali · 02-21-2008, 01:43 PM

Spotted a black Elise on Hwy 101 South through the San Fernando Valley in L.A. You waved and I gave you a thumbs up. Sleek looking car!

Cinesnow · 02-21-2008, 10:53 PM

Spotted a White Exige S in Brea, on Imperial HWY. . .

Mr.C · 02-23-2008, 07:21 AM

Yesterday, 01/21.
Saw what I think was an Elite coming from Skyline and going down Germantown a little after 8:00AM. You were first at the 4-way stop.
I followed you down Germantown in an M-Class.
Anyone here on the board?

Sorry for the blurry camera picture...

That's not an Elite. Tough to tell with the picture quality, but it looks like an Eleven, or an Eleven clone.

Yeah, but you haven't driven it in so long how can you be sure what color it is.

Mr.C · 02-24-2008, 08:00 AM

I guess you're correct. It looked more like this:
