Someone spotted me on Broadway around 3 pm last Saturday February 9th. My fiance and I didnt see your car, but I definitely heard the unmistakable sound of your horn as you passed (and no I didnt accidentally hit the horn haha). I was in my AR Elise with the hardtop on. . . should have taken it off since it was over 80 degrees! Was it anyone on here?

What color was it? Someone has a midnight blue and works on Broadway near Central Market, but I don't think they are on here.

May have been us. We were there at that time and vaguely recollect seeing an Elise.

I never saw it. . . Alison said that it was behind a suburban and she could see the wheels under it. Oh and she says thank you for the mileage and she told me that I owe you a drink

Anyway she said yes. . . I'll post an update after this weekend since it will be my last weekend with her before she heads back to Germany. Oh and she was driving the lotus so technically I guess someone spotted her

Chrome Orange Exige S heading south on Admiralty Way in Marina Del Rey this morning, I was in the Elise heading north.

North40 · 02-13-2008, 11:04 AM

Saw a Chrome Orange Elise on the way to Redmond, while I was on my way back to Kirkland. I did the quadruple honk, and I believe you waved. I was in the Chrome Orange Elise speeding in the opposing direction.

Last night around 9:30 headed East on 66 in Fairfax. You were in a 91 elan, I was in the elise.

perryeyges · 02-17-2008, 11:11 AM

This sunday morning in the Berkeley Hills on Grizzly Peak Blvd at "THE WALL" @approx 9:40a. You were in a Storm Titanium Elise(nice), I was in my Chrome Orange "Elige Roadster".....

It looked as if you were a bit startled and were going to turn around but didn't..
Nice Cool AM intercooler weather...

25psi_Elise_Killer · 02-18-2008, 08:24 PM

At Streets of Willow today saw 3 Lotus. One was MlkF1 (is that the write screen name, but he owns trackhq.com) and a white Exige who were chasing each other's tails all day long. MlkF1 looked like he was trying to drift the entire track

MlkF1 was kind enough to introduce himself to me.

Also, had lunch with a guy from Sport Compact Car Magazine who was doing a review of the Exige 240 car. He had the car for a week already, so look for a review in an upcoming issue.

Cardinal · 02-19-2008, 09:01 AM

I spotted myself yesterday finally getting the Elise out on the road. It was warm yesterday in MA!

LarryB · 02-19-2008, 09:29 AM

Yesterday around 9:30 am in Mountain View CA. Shoreline and 101 a red Elise, about a 1/2 mile later on Shoreline and Middlefield, yellow with HT, Elise. Then a few minuets later on Midllefield near Central Expressway, what looked like Tintin on foot taking a walk... busy little drive.

lotusforsale · 02-19-2008, 04:26 PM

Nightfall Blue Elise, I believe, heading south on I 95 just south of Baltimore, 5:45 pm on Tuesday 2/19, where 95 goes over the Baltimore Beltway (I 695). Hard top on.

Very nice car!

davecarama · 02-19-2008, 04:49 PM

Thanks! The Nightfall Blue was me.

I have my A048 tires on... was worried about the cold, but they are working great!

I will tell you what though, the ruts in that road! The car is all over the place!

I dunno, Dave. You looked pretty well hooked up in the 'fast' lane. You passed me right at the 695 overpass. By the time I got off an I 195 a mile or so later, you were out of sight!

I don't know that I've seen a NFB in person before (although I think I've seen all the others IP except Aztec Bronze). I think if I had it to do over again, I'd really consider that color.

Stormy320 · 02-19-2008, 10:28 PM

Spotted an 06 Chrome Orange Exige going south on the 405 around Torrance.

Wow - first time outside a Lotus event seeing a Chrome Orange Exige. Good to know my car looks awesome when I drive it
