An Elise 111R (of which I've driven several from when I was looking to buy one)... always puts a grin on your face and a very competent driver too

On the even better side, a lovely PH bloke from Swindon also took me out for a spin in his V8 Vantage... SHIT the bed, I've never heard a noise like it!!! We hit some (***) mph on the trunk roads around Swindon and I could not believe how well it pulled (only other super super fast car I've been out in is a PH run in a 996 GT2 (putting out roughly 480bhp))... this felt nigh on as quick but 10x more comfortable and luxurious... simply amazing car

This was all at a PH meet in Swindon BTW

Yummy

If I had 70/80k to spend, an Aston would be at the top of my list

What does he use as a daily car then?

Or does he train to London?

And I thought a T350C made a nice machine gun style noise... nothing compared to that V8

The 111R is the Elise with the Exige Toyota 190bhp engine, lol

Ah, I see.

Followed a AMV8 and 911 through the town centre in Bedford the other day who were obviously having a little play with each other. Kept undertaking each other using the bus lane

I found it very amusing

And probably have more sway with the police too

Would love to head along to a meet but think they would all look and me and tell me to sod off.

Even more so when I pull up in my Corsa

Maybe lol.

Though I'm fairly shy. Would probably end up going home disappointed.

Will have to find a meet one day where you are heading along so I can tag along
