Getting in and out is a bit of an art form but nothing that isn't realistic. If Jo wears a skirt in it however as she gets out you would know not only which colour but the manufacturer and stitching style of her underwear.
Nothing most of us don't already know.

It was a simple thing actually Edd, I was walking through town and one went by me down the high street. It just didn't pull at the heart strings as much especially after having driven the Cayman.

As for Novas and Corsas, it must be noted that they are indeed a formiddable weapon. At Goodwood apparently they ran a secret hillclimb so as not to embarass Bugatti etc etc.

But the irony is, and I'm not sure if BB knows this, but the Elise has Corsa indicaor stalks, hence why I'm getting mine changed
Well this is great news - atleast with purchasing an Elise and not an M3 you will not be turning into a W******er or having to adjust your driving style anymore!

Llyod has never been the same since....

As for the stalks being in common with those in the Corsa - yes that weight saving ergonomic NASA style plastic used would have clinched it for me too!

You really need to work on your search engine techniques, Chris. Three of those words are redundant


Good line!

I was laughing my ass off the other day in Glasgow watching people walk past the car. I was in Starbucks with a hangover and the car was directly across the road.

The amount of people who would stop and stare or even end up walking backwards to look at it was crazy! I think it's just such an unusually curvy car that even people who aren't normally interested in cars notice it. I'd say a good 80% of the people who walked past had more than a good look. Made me feel quite nice it must be said. It couldn't cure my hangover tho.

People must all be "lifestyle wh0res" deep down.
