Didn't know if this is a California only sightings page...if not, Saturday in Dayton Ohio, British Car Show, Eastwood lake, SY.

J-Son · 08-07-2005, 06:08 PM

i had my first Elise sighting last weekend near my house...it was a CO elise leaving the hamptons almost exiting onto the Expressway. I wasnt in my elise at the time though so honking would be fruitless.

Crudson · 08-07-2005, 06:30 PM

Can this thread be moved to a non-regional area please? It seems the volume of sightings can be contained in one.

wallabyguy · 08-07-2005, 06:41 PM

My wife saw a SY in Rydal/ Abington area on 8/6/05 twice. She was the nut in the silver S4 laying on the horn.

Second is a CO which resides in Wyncote and works in NE Philly on the Blvd between welsh and grant.

Magnetic Blue, with hardtop on, going north on Black Rock Turnpike (Rt. 58) in Fairfield/Easton CT late yesterday afternoon. I've seen several other Elises in CT and one in NYC over the last few months but I think this is the first Magnetic Blue car I've seen other than my own.

Friday 8.12..early evening..Sorry to the Magnetic Blue heading north on Jog...Caught your wave at last second..
Graphite Grey..

BRP with soft top heading down University avenue in Berkeley, CA. I believe it might have been JenNJuice4?

Yellow/Black on Market Street & 37th Street (Science Center) in Philly, PA 8-12

Spotted a Krypton Elise with black wheels in Beverly Hills today on Wilshire.

It looked great.

Speak up if you are here.

That was me at University City Science Center on 8-12!

I still haven't seen another on the road! I imagine the first time I do I will be honking and waving like crazy!!!

A guy around the corner just bought one. I think he got tired of me coming by with ELCC membership applications. Looks like he packed up and moved last week.

Most deflating moment. The first full day I had my car I was coming down the hill to my house. I had to this point never seen an Elise on the road outside of the UK. Coming up the hill was a car identical to mine. We stared at each other in amazement.

Who parked their Blue Elise Sunday, 08/14, at Summit Point race track near the bridge late in the day at the MARRS races? We saw your car as we were leaving. Next time, introduce yourself to Sam (me) and JoAnne. We have a silver Elise. We race Spec Miatas. Look for SSM 66 and SSM 99 near turn 10 in the paddock.

A friend of mine said he saw a dark blue Elise in Mt Laurel, NJ yesterday.

spider · 08-18-2005, 10:40 AM

GG going south on 405 near the LAX airport exit last night at around 11 PM. It was the first time I saw the car on the highway at night; looked better than I thought...

RacyTracy · 08-18-2005, 11:28 AM

Geeeeez.....3,000 miles and no one has spotted me.....

jtanner · 08-18-2005, 12:26 PM

I've seen five here in the Atlanta area (not counting British Car Day):

- Saffron Yellow pulling into/out of a subdivision on 120 between Peachtree Industrial and 141. Seen this one three times.

- Storm Titanium (I think?) at a llama farm near Kennesaw Mountain.

- SweetDaddyD's Chrome Orange today at lunch

- Storm Titanium at NASA track day at Road Atlanta that belonged to Clyde.

- Lucien's Ardent Red at the same track day

Maybe we need another thread, the "I've been spotted" thread?
I know Kiyoshi has spotted me
