You're a nutter Gaz.

I'll only really play with the Elise at roundabout speed... on roundabouts.

I think you are referring to my first post about the Elise after I got it out of shape on a roundabout and found it very tame when compared to the S2000.

I took a non-petrol head collegue for a trip between two of our offices a week or so ago. 2 minute drive and therefore no 2nd cam. But there was a roundabout.

He proclaimed to the office that the Elise was not that good at handling afterall.... and that it fish tailed off the roundabout!

Let's be honest, nothing on earth is hairier than Danny.

She has a last gen Civic Type R which I drove today back from the pub. Fack me it feels slow! I thought the same about my mate's ATR recently. Felt fairly grippy and pointy though, which is more than I can say about the ATR which felt truly horrid in the corners.

Elise ownership is really spoiling me.

quite a few people thought the back of the s was slippy, i think its because, like the elise, you are sat much more over the back wheels than a normal 4 seater, that kind of moves the pivot point about.. So its not slipping, it just feels different going around corners..

maybe...
