Lotus Elise
Posted by: Paul Hutchings on 23 April 2005
Anyone here have one or can tell me anything about them?
I'll hold my hands up to be an indecisive f**ker but I keep getting this urge to just buy something fun and sod the consequences and something like this seems like a "real" sports car vs say an MR2 or MG (he says, not having ever driven anything like that to be basing it on).
Just having a look on the Auto Trader and there's several within a short distance of me for between £9-11k.
Might see what the trade has within driving distance and go have a nosey tomorrow.. plus I know our M.D has one for the nicer days so I may pick his brains too.
Pipe dreams eh!

Hmm.. nice afternoon so I had some time off and went to a couple of dealers (Bromsgrove must be the only place in the UK with two lotus specialist dealers within 1/2 a mile of each other).
Had a test drive in a S1 Elise 1.8. I'm not much good at descriptives but it goes like stink, you feel every bit of the road, the steering is very direct and unlike anything I've ever tried before.. and it's 2 hours later and I'm still smiling
