I like the Renault, except the the soft top on that is not very attractive.

Nice pics. From the back, the Renault and the Elise look very similar. I've never seen a Renault Spyder before. Not a bad looking car. What's the performnace like??

Sweeeeeeeeeet Pics, Mack!

Just wondering, I did not see it mentioned. . .is'nt that Lotus "Elise" supposed to have a Honda VTEC powerplant?

You plan on running the Dragon in September during Dragonball Run with stock rims and street tires?

Nice pics!

The Elise would only have the massaged B-18 if it was one of the ones built/imported by Sun International. However, if somebody managed to ship a European car over, than it unfortunately has the Rover K-series in it (not that I'd kick her out of bed

Airgate-

Clark is correct. This Lotus was imported "for racing only" and is not street legal. It had the Rover motor.

as for the Dragon runs. I think I'll stick with my street tires. I've got a couple of new S03's sitting in the garage calling my name!!

I'm sure you can relate!!

Thanks Simon.
