[QUOTE=Bassoctopus,Oct 31 2006, 06:24 PM] I should imagine you'll have a much longer list when you've owned the Elise as long as the S2k.

Did you see Evo this month?

I had two, did 65000 in the first one - not a single problem with it.

No problem with the 04 either after 25k.

take some of the whingeing on here with a pinch of salt
