Re: Another Lotus Owner Says Hello!

One year ago I was too near in buying a lotus Elise mk1 (the nicest one at all for me of that Lotus).
I just was stopped by the ugly poorness of the car, and the lack of care in assemblying of the one I was looking for.
While testing it before buy I loose one light in the front, just for the wind [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img], and the car was honestly too expensive for the thing u were buying (mine was for 28.000 euros).
With a little more pain I will surely buy a geetee, surely much more special and nicer car at all.

I wouldnt be so sure in hate bmws and Porsches(as well as Ferrari).
The cars are simply incredible in the right hands and also old ones (M3 and 993) are simply fast as lightnings, honestly(but I love see Russ adventure in track killing Porsches...)

Sure,the driver skills matters a lot, but we cannot deny many of the german ones are great cars indeed(just too expensive, as all todays cars are..)

All this..without mentioning the Italian Myth of Ferrari.
I drove several, and until today they definitely rope and kill my heart (impossible for me to look at Jim J6 beasts....).
Last one was a F575 Cambiocorsa.....just drive one and AFTER tell me what the hell is that car,now going out of production


If I will found a nice elise for 13-15.000 euros I can think at it..but suspect that will just make longer my waiting for the gt40.
