My dad just came home with this beast, what can I say I love it. Only had a quick blast up the road but it was short and sweet. The driving position is lovely, and it sounds great too.











I want one!

I love Elise. I've been thinking about getting one, or a VX220, as my next car. But I'm starting to think it's more of a weekend toy, not really an everyday car.

The exhaust is badly designed so one pipe is bypassed, it is being replaced soonish in favour of a Janspeed so ive been told.

You say 'though' like its a bad thing. The driving position is awesome, feels like a proper race car, born destined for the track.
