New to me '05 Lotus Elise w/only 10,600 miles picked up today. The bad news is my cigar budget is now $0. Good thing I stocked up for this season of famine. Any Lotus owners on here?

you're kidding, right?!

That thing is nuts!

Nice wheels!

I had an Europa in the early '70's. Less reliable than the MGB that I had before but that is the beauty of British cars.

WOW!! I have a friend who used to have a couple of those, they're incredibly cool cars!

I drive Jaguars (thus my screen name "CoventryCat") so I can "relate" to your take on British cars, LOL!

landhoney, that is one awesome set o' wheels ya got there!

F*cking ridiculas!!! Congrats!

croatan · 11-05-2008, 03:29 PM

Nice. Thought about getting one of those when I got a new car a few months ago. Fell in love with a convertible, instead. The Elise is a really good sports car value, in my opinion.

markem · 11-05-2008, 03:30 PM

I love the Elise. Almost bought one when I bought my miata. Hope you have many good adventures in that beastie

Sailchaser · 11-05-2008, 03:50 PM

I always love the sound of that car especially when you down shift fron 4th to 3rd sweet , My budget is a 67 alfa spider dove tail

What a joy of an automobile.

Congrats!

11-05-2008, 03:57 PM

I drove one of those the other day........on my xbox 360.

11-05-2008, 03:59 PM

WOW. Smart to buy it before taxes go up.

11-05-2008, 04:03 PM

Way cool!

Siebec · 11-05-2008, 04:06 PM

Your going to put a blower on the 2zz, correct?

Nice car!

ugly how?

11-05-2008, 04:11 PM

Yeah, it looks nice, but is it more fun to drive then my Saturn

Nevermind

Sweet Lotus! If my 6' 2", 225lb but could fit in one, I'd have one in my garage right now.

Enjoy it, find some time to toss it around a track - they are special cars when driven hard.

You must join a lotus club and get that baby on the track. You have no idea how great they are until you get it on a track. Those are awesome little machines. If there isn't a lotus club there will be a BMW, Audi, or Porsche club that will let you go to their DE days.

DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!

Can you tell I like the track?

Oh, by the way, nice car.
