Gorgeous car and great photographs! Congratulations. I had never noticed in any prior photographs, the upside down image reflection in the back of the car. Interesting.

Yet they all do, good catch, I haven't noticed either.

rijk365gtb4 - How do you decide which one to drive?

Dro · 04-29-2005, 01:32 AM

I finally got mine last night! I've was on the waiting list since November '03, and I'm so excited now I can still hardly breathe. I'll post pics this weekend. I want to give thanks to everyone here on these forums for keeping me going during the long wait.

rbullett,

The Cayenne Turbo is for in NYC and to go up to the country.

The Ferrari and the Lotus are so on the opposite sides of the spectrum, that its easy to choose.

The V12 is all about torque and sound: a true GT (And will take the kids).

The Elise is all about steering and braking (no passengers)

rbullett · 05-01-2005, 03:56 PM

Thanks

Delivery 4/29/05 (deposit 11/11/03). Great job throughout by Dan and the guys at Scottsdale Lotus.

Not many pictures yet, but this one below is from my inaugural run out to Bartlett Lake near Phoenix. As other AZ owners will probably know, this is a nice combination of rough surface slower speed twisties followed by a section of smooth surface long sweepers. Needless to say I had a blast - can't wait to get through the break-in period!

Oh, and in closing I'd just like to say:

Dro · 05-06-2005, 04:00 PM

Here's my BRP, LSS...

rbullett · 05-06-2005, 05:24 PM

Looking good in the neighborhood!

midgetdonkey · 05-08-2005, 07:33 AM

My new toy. Helluva fun car although this break-in period is killing me. Any other AZ drivers here? I still need to search through this site. Enjoy the pictures.

I'm going through the same break in agony right now too! There are quite a few other AZ drivers around, check the regional forums first:

Delivered about five weeks ago... but been on the road most of that time. Finally got time to post pics. Notice the big house with four car garage (That's the garage sticking way out in front.) Had to buy that so I would have room for the Elise.

Sport pack, Touring pack, Starshield, Hard Top, the works.

I would have gotten the Sports package JUST for the tires. Wicked looking!

looks like we have more than the color of our cars in common... I also bought a garage that just happened to have a house attached to it for the sole reason of storing the new toy. Only problem is I got the car before the house...

Hey did you get your car from MidRivers in late March (don't know the exact date right now)? There was one just like that with every option and the owner was just picking it up when we stopped by. We later got passed by it (you?) on I70 heading west. There were 7 other Elise's there, yours (potentially?) was prepped to go with an orange, black, and ardent red directly in front of the building.

Yep, that was me. Also met the guy who's son tried to start his CO elise in gear, and cracked up the front end.

What was your experience with Midrivers? I was a little upset with the fact that there was auto wax in EVERY little crack and crevis on my Elise. I'm still digging it out. :P Other than that, they were great.

JWA · 05-09-2005, 08:26 PM

That wax is most likely from the hellacious buffing job that they do at the port - we all have it. I still have small white dots of buffing compound up front on my dash by the windshield. The dots don't bother me as much as the buffer burn-in swirls all throughout the rear spoiler area.

Well, that explains it. I don't have any swirl marks though... I really think I got a top-notch paint job -- I haven't found a single defect yet.

I'm still curious about the mirror adjustments. It seems to me there should be a knob for adjusting the exterior mirrors - but there isn't any on my car. But there are open holes where the knobs should be. It just doesn't seem right adjusting them by hand outside the car, because they don't hold position correctly.
