Personally, I'd have an Elise, in order to let some of the heat out. They're sweaty, with the glued-on roof.
FWIW, the roof isn't glued on, it's bolted. It can be removed...

I thought Lotus did not recommend that - you stay cool & the lump gets sweaty!

One more question, which insurance company did you get a quote from???

Mt S costs me more than it would cost your son to insure a 911 and its only my weekend car so social use only..

Is the quote in his name etc?? I couldnt even get a quote on a 350Z this week from most companys as i need to be 25.

He has 5 years and got the quote in his own name from Tesco who are his current insurer.
We made sure he started insuring in his own name straight away

The insurance for an S was much more , for those companies that would insure him . Just shows that the huge amount of crashes involving an S is starting to be acted on by the insurers

They may not - although in much the same way that Honda don't recommend most of the "mods" board members here do, that doesn't mean it isn't possible/easy.
