New car sorted

[neilj37]

Well the garage was still warm from the "seven" but it has only taken me a day to find a raplacement car. A little more power and just as fun to drive but this time i have a roof, heater and radio lol. Handed over a deposit and get the car in 2 weeks.

Decided to go for a 2005 lotus elise 111R.

Will post a pic once i get it off my phone.

Provided there is no hiccups this is what I have coming:

Enjoy it - when's the first trackday?

The 111r is the one with approx 125bhp ?

Think you may have missed a little off there, hopefully it is around 190BHP

The 111R is the one fitted with the Toyota engine.

Nice looker with black wheels.

Loved mine - but swapped for the 7 ! Missed the creature comforts this weekend

Was reading about the run on the se site and the little accident. Seems to have kicked off a little debate about runs etc.

Toys out of the pram job, but after the grit-blasting I got, I am tempted to agree a meet point then make you own way - save smelling someone elses oily engine fumes

Neil,

That a nice car, you will have to come in by and show me it.

Cheers

Funny but my 7 has a much better heater than my Elise and they both leak about the same.

Admittedly locks and a bigger boot help sometimes.

Enjoy the new car though. After trying to keep up with Jason et al on o5o7o9 last year in his S, and me in the 7, I realised they really are quite rapid on the road when you are trying to follow.
