Had a surprise call last night, the local Lotus dealer called and asked if I wanted an Elise approx 2 years earlier than expected. Silly question. 45 minutes later, here is the result.

And guess which genius managed to sell him the idea of an Elise?

Glad you finally got it

 

[DrkFrcs]

Well, I had a lot of help ;-)

A trip in June comes to mind, being a passenger was great. Of course with the excellent driver making me feel very comfortable, it was an easy decision.

I must say it is a nice surprise. I got mine on a trip to pick up my other car from service. CONGRATS!

That's CO. BTW, did you pay the full $5k markup they had advertised?

Congrats, I am glad that it went to someone on the list. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas

Is your local dealer Criswell? The two available cars they had were supposed to be titanium and silver, so I'm wondering where this one came from. Thanks.

I believe the CO was spoken for before people started posting about the ST and silver.

Thanks for the clarification. Oh, and congratulations to DrkFrcs! I'll be looking for you on the road.

The local dealer was Criswell, up in MD. And sadly, the markup price was there too. The car is chrome orange.

It does make for a good Thanks Giving and a nice Christmas. The car came in 11 Nov, and that is when I got the call. Was there very soon after I got the call.

Time to add the picture which makes it look like the subject of this post.
