I bought my Elise primarely because i love driving, and having the roof off on a twisty road certianly adds to the excitement :D

But now, i love posing with the roof off, so thats my excuse as of now, posing w*nker :roll:

Esprits remain very untapped as track cars mainly cos they were ageing by the time the track day explosion occured and Lotus had moved onto small cars in the 90s, but they have fine testimonials from race drivers to their chassis and have to conclude they would have taken more honours in GT1/2 but for the turbo cars being dogged with reliability woes. We're now seeing more hit the track and they're suprising many. My car is an ex John Hazzard 750MC car but I decided to build sth more adveturous, almost a year on now and I'm still rebuilding it.. :roll:
this explains better
