Oh mayb i have a warped sence of humour but i found it most amusing 2 see an elise trying 2 muller it in my wake (NB i really was only going slow;)) around a roundabout only 2 see him in my rear view mirror getting his ass seriously out of shape @ the slightest throttle action & he was so close 2 loosing it in2 the barriers! Fortunatley he managed 2 catch it b4 totally going tits up hence y i can now smile about it:p
I've been there in the scoob but having now got me 17"ers fitted with sum pucker toyos even with bedding in period still in effect it feels so much better & i can now only sympathise (& laugh:D) when i see people loosing it!
Must confess i gave him the thumbs up @ having not killed himself but he looked like he'd just touched cloth:o i dont blame him;) lol.
Now isn't sum1 round here guna get a lotus? Be carefull then chap;)

Still haven't got the spell checker fixed Si..? http://www.smilies.nl/naughty.gif

I have been in an Elise when the driver nearly lost it big style in the snow. It span 270, but hit nothing.
I've driven an Exige on a track and it was hilariously good fun, a bit 4rse twitchy (and so was the car), but loads of fun

Maybe he did it on purpose?:confused:

I can get my Fiesta sideways on roundabouts, lift off oversteer it's great, dunno why you 4wd drive boys get so upset about it!:D:D:D

I own an Elise and drive a Scoob as my company car. The rules are really quite simple.

If it's glorious sunshine and the roads are bone dry and the temperature is above freezing take the Elise otherwise take the Scoob.

The Elise is very twitchy in the wet, but it can be good fun though as long as you learn not to lift off when the oversteer starts. Fortunately I learnt this on a track not on the public road!!

Fun fun fun.

Elises are.....'entertaining' in the wet. Fine if you don't drive like an idiot though.
