Evo online car mag on the new Elise S

new article at


http://www.evo.co.uk/cargrouptests/c...2_elise_s.html

excerpt

Getting into an Elise is something best done after a lot of practice or out of view of other people, especially those likely to mock. The best way seems to be this: 1) grab something sturdy, such as the seat, 2) slide left leg in underneath steering wheel towards clutch pedal, 3) commence controlled fall, 4) halfway through said fall, swivel whilst lifting right leg over sill with minimal clearance, 5) landing gear down and extend right leg towards throttle, 6) close door nonchalantly.

He writes: "Eventually, tingling and goosebumped, I drift back into the first village, let the clutch out and roll to a stop next to the village green. As the cooling metal tings away, I seriously consider turning around for another run."

Oh yeah.

There should have been a disclaimer " Any attempt of this method in a Left Hand Drive Elise will be hazardous to your reproductive health"
