I can't wait to take her for a spin with the San Diego gang!

It has arrived!

After a 3 month wait, it is finally here. Had no idea Saffron Yellow would look so nice.

I had dreamed of owning a Corvette or a Mustang when I was a teen. I had even put down a $20 deposit on a used $800 Mustang but my Dad vetoed that.

So here I am, long in the tooth but still young at heart.

And thanks to my lovely wife for letting me pick up this totally unpractical, but immensely fun car.

Damn, this car looks good in ANY color!

I still love my Artic Silver with red interior, but if I could, IŽd drive a different color everyday!

That is the future: a Lotus with variable color

My shiny new (as of two weeks ago) Saffron Yellow Purist Edition Elise:

Looking at the picture makes me want to leave work, wash it again, and then go for a drive. Is that normal?

Just picked up my new 05 BRP, purchased from LT member CULINO:



As you can tell from my join date, I've been hanging around and lusting after an Elise for quite some time. I'm thrilled to finally own one!!

Arrived last Sunday!

Our Jim Clark Edition arrived last weekend and still can't belive she's here!
The car is everything I had expected and more. Last week I made the first "Chapman Mod" - took out the factory (useless) cup holder. I think it saves about a pound! Besides, who needs caffine when you have a Lotus!?!

I would be remiss if I didn't mention that the car was sourced from Lotus Motorcars of Long Island. My hat's off to Tom, Maryann and all the Autosport staff for handling the transaction in a timely, professional and friendly manner. Anyone in the market should seriously consider them - I know I'll be back to get another some day.

First post here! :-)

I've had my eye on the Elise for a couple of years now, and I finally got one! 2005 AR. Only had 6500 miles on it! :-)

As someone who spent many of his teen years with various sports car posters on the wall of his bedroom, I'm sure you can imagine how much I love my Lotus!

More fun than I imagined!

Just picked up my 2007 ardent red Elise last tuesday. Touring package, hard top, 6711 miles. I have been having a blast!!. Bought mine at Mid-Atlantic Sports Cars in Morgantown, WV. My hats off to Wayne and the staff there. If anyone is looking for a used Lotus, Ferrari, Lambo or Porsche I highly recommend Mid-Atlantic.

Favorite moment in my Elise so far was rounding the corner on my way to work and reading the lips of a high school kid walking to school as he said, "Holy ****!"

Pics coming soon.
