Sure looks nice with no wheel reflectors on it.
Ok here we go.
Got the car last Thursday and have done about 230kms so far. Compared to my S1, it's a much better car all around. Ride and handling is truly exceptional and steering - well just wait and see!
The build quality is very good for a largely hand built car. I haven't nailed it yet but have gone up to about 5,000rpm. It's pretty quick but its true performance is about another 1,000kms away.
Couple of bad points. The gear lever shifting mechanism is very deliberate and takes a bit of getting used to. Think it'll be great once it's worn in a bit though. The sound from the stereo is not outrageously good (doubt mainy will care though!). The standard exhaust sounds better than a standard K series one but will definately be changing to a sports exhaust once they're available.
The attention it gets is amazing - probably one of the best looking cars on the planet. Had two Vanquishes (of all things)tempting me to race on two different days - my word they do sound good.
Let me know if you have any questions or want any specific photo's taken.

ACP, congradulations. Doesn't this mean the 111R/Federal Elise production lines have already been started?
When Lotus says the will product 3,000 Federal Elises a year, that does not include the 111R, right?
