Hi, I’m a newbie . . .
While I have owned and worked on british sports cars in the past (primarily early MGBs), I have been interested in Lotus — primarily Elans (especially the S3 FHC) and Europas (the TC) — for a while.
Fast forward to a couple couple of weeks ago when, for my birthday, my wonderful wife rented an Elise for me for a day. She and I had such a blast with it, driving through some of the hills and back roads of Fremont, Sunol, and Livermore. Later, my son and I took it through the Santa Cruz mountains and along the coast. It was incredible — it is everything I want in a sports car!
I am now hopelessly infatuated with the Elise, to the extent that I am now looking to buy one (with my wife’s support and encouragement)!
