auselise · 09-09-2009, 04:24 PM

Hi,

I've been a long time lurker here so thought it was time to post some pics and say hi!

Here's a few pics of my 2005 Elise ( RED & NOW SOLD ) which was only slightly modded with intake/exhaust/stereo

and my current 07 Graphite Grey elise which is stock for the moment - new coilovers have been ordered and i'm trying to source a von hep exhaust

Cheers
Evan

good on ya. Nice Car.

Welcome! What part of Oz are you from? Spent almost a year down there in 1999-2000. Lived in Melbourne, but traveled all over.

My favorite places were Kakadu and Shady Camp on the Mary River! Great fishing and crocs galour! Mellville Is was also very cool, as was Arnhemland.

Cheers,
LP

Would love to see your car next to mine to compare the difference between gunmetal and GG

Watch out for kangaroos! But, then again, maybe they would just jump over an Elise.

On second thought, maybe jumping sheep are for New Zealand owners.

Interesting, those wheels never made it across the pond.

Vegemite - Breakfast of champions and health food of a nation.

Aedo, Graphite Grey is darker than Gunmetal

auselise, you should know the real driving roads are further south.

Yes - I'd like to see them side by side though

Seb · 09-11-2009, 08:15 AM

I would rather eat the waste products after an oil change.

Lotus-Position · 09-11-2009, 08:44 AM

The first time someone from Oz offered me vegamite on toast, I thought it was a joke! Never developed a taste for it.
