Hello everyone. Got my 05 Elise last week and couldn't be happier. This is a great forum!!

Smallfatz · 07-18-2009, 08:56 PM

Welcome! I live in Buckeye and have only had my Elise for about 2 months. Congrats, it's a great car that you're gonna love more everyday.

Here's a picture (finally)

boostu · 07-21-2009, 01:25 PM

That neighborhood looks familiar...

I had fun telling my coworkers about my "stalker" story last week. I think one of my coworkers lives across from you which is how it came up. I guess people assume we know every Lotus in a 100 mile radius (though I didn't do much to disprove that theory when I told him I'd already met you).

You'll have to come on one of the Phoenix area drives sometime. Unless Chad is involved, the Phoenix Lotus owners are very difficult to get together. Hopefully when it cools down a bit he can get something together.

Welcome! Great looking car! I live in Prescott, if you ever want to run the twisty road up here let me know.

Hey, I just looked at a house in Prescott last month! Decent place off of Apollo Heights Drive, but the driveway is a ridiculous slope and it's off an uneven gravel access lane.

Welcome to the Forum and That car of yours Looks just like Mine.... Way to go there .. Be safe and have fun with her..

If you want to see what your car can do in a safe & fun environment checkout Arizona SCCA Autocross.

Cornfed · 08-30-2009, 08:54 PM

I will be spending some time in AZ to get out of the now. Look forward to some drives.

2006PolarBlueElise · 08-31-2009, 08:30 PM

Welcome aboard the site and to the AZ group of Lotus drivers. Look for a post in "Regions" (Southwest including AZ) section related to a potential group ride up to northern AZ coming up soon. Perhaps you'll join in and meet some other local owners while having a great ride.
