I ordered the yellow one.

 

nice!

and in yellow too?!

 

Chip, that is so cool. My wife has been sick of me talking about the Elise for years. I want one! IMO, it is the best sportcar available today for less than $100K.

Ya gotta at least let me ride with you on a fun run when you get it.

 

Sounds good to me.

I am excited about it. I almost went to Amsterdam over Mardi Gras to take a test drive, but I rode a parade float instead.

I hope this car turns out to be what I think it is!!

awesome, I've actually seen one here in BR a while ago. I saw it twice, once at the Citiplace movie theater, and once on perkins road. It was blue. Guy must have had it imported.

Congradulations, but what dealer are you buying it from?

 

I am getting it out of a dealer in Dallas.

These things aren't street legal yet...so he must have switched the plates or something.

 

I drove a prototype this past weekend....talk about fun!!!!! I will post pics later this week.

 

hurry up, post pics!
