We're all here for a reason, we WANT an ELISE! but how did we get here? What long and winding road brought you here today? There's another thread here about LSS and someone mentioned they wish they'd found out about the car sooner. So I figure I'll just plain ask the question. How did YOU find out about the Elise? Not so much your life history of automobiles, but rather, specifically what turned you on to the S2?
For my part....I've always had a bad habit of surfing around the net looking at cars I cannot afford but I try to figure out how to buy anyway. About two years ago someone at an autocross mentioned a Lotus Elise. I wasnt terribly familiar with them so I started searching around online. The elise was small, handled well, and was good looking and well, it was a Lotus! I loved it. I started looking into the SUN elises to purchase for racing but it didnt appeal to me as much because I was worried about its "street legal " status. The more I searched the more I started learning about the Elise S2. Just happenstance one day I was searching online and found Paul Spruells Lotus dealership website with pictures of the S2. His website also said he was taking deposits.
I spoke to my husband who was totally against the idea of placing a deposit but I did it anyway. We had a fight about it in fact.
I'm happy to say he's on the Lotus bandwagon now. LOL. So, here I am.
