Looking forward to seeing red on red. I think it looks rather good from the limited pics I've seen.

On the Barrett-Jackson T.V. show that airs on Speedchannel, Jackson was inspecting a Vette from the 60's and explaining what to look for when thinking about buying a good one. The car was 'Red/Red' and he said it was 'an extremely desirable color combo'. At least you know in 40 years, when you decide to unload your Elise at auction, that there is a good chance it will fetch a high return based on color-combo.

I noticed #14 at Valenti has chimed in to say they also have a Nov. build date. Since the originally thought total of cars coming at or near the end of the year was 19, I'm wondering if this amount has been cut-back a bit. If there are build dates in Nov. for 15 - 19 perhaps they will post so you can get a better idea as to when you might expect yours. My guess is around 3 per month starting with the end of the first month of the new year.

how did you and your 15 year old son manage to drive 2 cars home? Can 15 year olds get a license down there?

Heck, my girlfriend wairs skirts and hops in the Elise. Perhaps the crowds of people aren't gathering to see the car after all.
answers to questions
heres some answers to some of the posted questions about picking up my car a couple of weeks ago.
1-i was # 5 at matheny in jacksonville, waited about 21/2 years
2-my son only has his permit, we rented a car one way to pick it up
3- i have my computer guy comming in soon to help me post the pix of red on red, i think they will be worth the wait.
4- my wife has now gotten used to getting in and out of it now, and i have her with me on most of my rides.
to all of you who are waiting for your cars i still feel your pain when i read some of your posts, but i assure you, when you get your car you forget about the long wait because you can't believe you finally have it. it is so worth the wait so hang in there.
