Picked up my Graphite/Red touring yesterday. Deposit 10/03- order 3/1/04 arrived 1/14/05.

Paint looks great, starshield is very good- have'nt noticed any blemishes yet. Have 108 miles on it so far- it was delivered with 12 on the odometer. Can't find my toolkit, but I'll keep looking

jd

the GG looks great! my SB had the toolkit in the "boot." it's a folding toolkit in black with red trim. could be in the small pocket around the battery (on driver side).

On all your pics...did you have to darken the grill pieces? Looks like they are too black to be untouched for a black car.

congratulations to all the new cars this past week! Seems like a lot are coming in these couple weeks.

I use "Black Again" from Emmon Coachworks on the vent gills. It seems to get rid of the gray haze better than Armor All. The Polarizing filter and adding black in Photoshop also contributed.

Yet Another shot...

Great work-

p.s. where's the hot babe!!

Keith · 01-19-2005, 08:44 PM

geez eliseum - those studio like shots are amazing!

Ancient Wedgie · 01-19-2005, 10:53 PM

I've been posting my shots elsewhere til now. It's been awhile since a Laser Blue was posted here.
All the following were taken 01/19/2005 between 1 and 2 PM.
Had I gotten there sooner, the amount of haze layering would have been less.
Please forgive me for getting there so late.

This is from Pacific Palisades, looking at Santa Monica Bay Beaches all the way south to Palos Verdes.

This next one is from PP looking East towards downtown and the Angeles Crest/San Gabriel/San Bernardino Mountains in that order.
Just last Sunday this view was so crystal clear that even Mt. San Gorgonio way out over Palm Springs was visible.
Photochemical smog has been building up all week in what I imagine is a thermal inversion layer -- though I've not heard this condition mentioned on the news yet.

This one is from above Las Flores Canyon looking WSW to Santa Barbara Island with a Ship cruising North in the ship channel.
With that wake it looks like a hydrofoil, but it wasn't moving that swiftly. Maybe it's towing something. I couldn't make it out.

This last one I think is the best of the day.
It shows off the lines of the Elise,
and the Laser Blue color so superbly,
that I feel the Elise successfully competes with Mother Nature in its beauty.

It is from higher up above Las Flores Canyon
looking down on the hills above Malibu,
and taking in Santa Monica Bay all the way to the
Palos Verdes Peninsula on the Left, and
Santa Catalina Island on the right.

AW,

A beautiful Elise in So. Cal = paradise!! Nice shots!

fitfan · 01-20-2005, 12:28 PM

eliseum,

You should sell those pics to Lotus, top quality promotion material there! They should be hanging on every dealers wall. ...and for fun you can even up the price on them once or twice before you hand them over

Thanks Chris.

Here's a bonus odd shot I took from a small park near my home. With really good cameras some action movies have used this shot in extreme closeup -- but without the elise to add color.
