This morning while biking up Shrewsbury St. in Worcester, a car carrier passes by.

The last car on top was a graphite colored Elise.

The truck pulled up in front of Gallo used cars.

The driver was pretty cool and said the Lotus was really dificult for him to get in and out of (and he was in good shape).

The rest of the cars were mostly Jag X types and a BMW 3 that have the look of lase returns bough at Auction.

That Lotus did look good though. So who's is it?

 

:ssh: it's me

 

The Worcester auto show is tonight through Sunday.....it is probably headed over there.

 

I was watching "Victory by Design" on Speed the other night and show was about Lotus. Alain (the host) got int the Elise (with top off) by standing in the seat and then sitting down. He did this for a couple of other sports cars too.

The only Elise I drove was quite difficult to get in and out of for sure, but it had the top up as it was winter.

 

I watched that episode a few times already

 

The Elise was reviewed on Fifth Gear as well. They called it "The best handling car around" but stated the S2000 was just as much fun but alot more livable for day - day driving.

The top for the Elise looks like a PIA that would get very tiring after a while...

 

How do you make an Elise even better?

Hondata Lotus Elise

Supercharged/Intercooled RSX 2.0l engine swap = 320hp!!!

This car seriously rocks.
