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!

av8tor152d · 11-05-2008, 04:29 PM

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.

croatan · 11-05-2008, 04:29 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, 04:30 PM

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

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, 04:57 PM

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

11-05-2008, 04:59 PM

WOW. Smart to buy it before taxes go up.

11-05-2008, 05:03 PM

Way cool!

Siebec · 11-05-2008, 05:06 PM

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

Nice car!

Nice car!

K swap ... only a bit biased.

The 2zz is a great engine, it's on the same level of a K series but came out sooner.

Honda just has massively more aftermarket and well, I'm bias lol.

11-05-2008, 05:11 PM

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

Nevermind

MTB996 · 11-05-2008, 05:41 PM

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.

11-05-2008, 06:07 PM

beautiful car! congrats on your purchase!

King James · 11-05-2008, 06:12 PM
