At the risk of sounding like Wilmslow

[BrilloPad]

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

Even seperately?

Why willl you not ever breed?

And why will wilmslow not ever breed? I bet tha=ere are alot of women out there who think he needs a motherly figure to look after - he certainly makes out he is quite pathetic(I do wonder how much of it is an act).

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

On the plus side they also go under some car park barriers.

Wilmslow would improve his chances if he didn't ask for bitty on every first date.

I didn't have a great childhood and I am scared I wouldn't be a very good parent.

I have no idea about wilmslow, I was answering for myself.

That happened to a neighbour of my Dad's. Took his head clean off...

Ouch.

I test drove an Elise years ago. I would last a week tops if I had one.

The salesman banged on about how light it was, blah, blah, and I told him that it felt as if it were made of papier mache...

That's because it is!

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!

You don't have to wait for >8000rpm for vtec, it kicks in about 6000 rpm.

You can't compare the s2000 engine to the old rover k series unit that was in the elise. Even though the s2000 doesnt have bags of torque it has more than a rover powered elise (153 compared to 121) even at low revs. Plus the rover runs out of puff at a dismal 5500 revs with 118bhp. The light weight would mean the elise would probably lead to 20mph but after that it would be mullered.
