At the risk of sounding like Wilmslow

These two should NOT be allowed to breed together.

Or seperately come to that.

Thanks for the tip Brillo. There is no chance of that ever happening.

I was born in HK, went to school in Berkshire, and lived in Sydney for 15years.

I am not from Norfolk, I just have the (mis)fortune of living here because I probably couldn't cope with London right now and want to do the UEA stuff.

UEA? They still have those pyramid halls and the LCR there?

It's an 07 touring, silver.

What do you have now?

Touring? Does that mean it has a tow bar!?

Just got a runabout* now, seeing as I was doing 20-30k miles for a few years until benched recently. Had an Exige (mk1) after the Elise, then a Cerbera, then realised I was wasting far too much money on cars. So wasted it all on other stuff instead.

* though the scrotes still think it's worth stealing apparently.

IIRC "touring" on an Elise means it has two molecules of seat padding instead of one.

Should have bought an S2000 instead. I did.

UEA stuff.

The girl next door to me when I was a teenager is (or was, haven't googled/stalked her for a while!) a lecturer at UEA.

If you're on one of her courses, it explains everything!

I would actually prefer an Exige, S2000 looks like an mx3.

I thought the seats in the Elise/Exige were as good as any others I've come across, considering the padding. Everything else I drive feels too high up now.

S2000! Once had a traffic light grand-prix with one. I thought he'd stalled it, but realised he had to wait till 8900rpm for the power to kick in. Diesels have a wider power band!

So did I, but decided I liked my hearing more.

Once got pulled by two cop bikers in the Exige because the blind spot was pretty much everything behind it. Fortunately they were more interested in the car than the ton I'd been doing.

When I went for the training they said most elise drivers are killed when they go under trucks...

I didn't think the vis was that bad.

I have done some ridiculous speeds in it though, it feels like it wants to go fast.
