Nope, beautiful car, but the way forward when you're a high mileage petrol head with a family is to buy two cars.

Or do a Bobbler and buy a mobile home rocket

, but I need something newish because of a clause in my car allowance at work.

Would prefer something light and chuckable.

Stop it, right now.

I've already been sniffing around early ones and looking on the bay for K20's.

Got the itch since a K20'd Elise rocketed past us like we were in a milk float at Donington.

Elise S1 = 690kg
Even with the bog standard K20 engine putting out circa 200BHP it's gonna be serious fun and you know better than almost anyone on here just what the K20 is capable of.

If you've never driven an Elise I seriously recommmend it though, the handling is like nothing else I've ever driven.

I really like Elise's, I just can't remember if I fit in them or not...

Yep, that too.

Wonder what profit he's hoping to make, wonder if he'll be paying tax on it... :rolleyes:
