The S2000 is $hit.
































Right now that I've got your attention I have followed in BB's footsteps but not to that degree, I still love the S.

However as with all things it was time to move on and after having sold the S to ADP, I have been trying all sorts of things out and the Elise 111R was the puppy that swung it for me. So after the meet today Jo and I legged it over to the Lotus dealership and I negotiated a bit, got a few extras incl. the black pack, the alloy stalks and the new lettering etc etc and a tasty chunk off the price. So I should pick her up next weekend, as long as I'm back from Germany. Here is a pick of her...

By the way in the pics its filthy. It's done just under 4000 miles, is an ex demo and is chilli red.

Nice car Chris But doesn't the paint choice clash with your strawberry blonde hair?

By the way, there will soon be a tasty upgrade path from the Elise too - the 2008 Esprit, powered by a BMW V8:
