It isn't ACTUALLY my own car, but my faithers.
I get to drive it all the time though...which is nice.
So far been very impressed with how well it goes. Always thought a light turbo-charged car was a death sentence, but it works perfectly. A bit more power would break traction easily i reckon, so once we've got an exhaust on it, i'll try and tempt him into a remap.
Really need to get some better pics, but i'm waiting on the sun coming back.

Tis a bit hairdresser stylee, but it would give a lot of cars a good run for their money!
Nice to drive something a bit different, though i'd still have preffered the Exige, but the price we got this for and taking into account it still has over 1 years manufactures warranty left on it, you couldn't do better with a Lotus.

Lovely car but I disagree with your last comment. A nice S1 with a Honda conversion can be had for £14k upwards and a supercharger if required

I should have mentioned an "out-of-the-box" motor.
Pop's isn't into modifying a car. He's seen me doing the scoobs and living to regret it.

Nice motor
I much prefer the look of them over the Elise 
Mate of mine had a naturally aspirated one a while back, I was well impressed with it, apart from it's habit of scooping up the contents of puddles and redistributing them through the interior
