N3 finally arrived with Craig last night after three days. Exhaust came off today and the welder is coming in tomorrow to repair it.

Sure am.

Will go for a spin tomorrow and maybe pop into Fennels on Sunday to see if there are any cars there.

I was not aware of AA parts and garage cover - might add this next year.

First thing to do if you have an out of warranty Elise, get AA cover and add P&L.

If you keep it for any length of time you will use it.

The Honda has much more power (350bhp to 220) and is a lot more tractable - cheerfully pulls from about 3000 rpm in 6th.

I suspect it may have a lower diff which would help.

Gear change was also better.

Altogether a lovely drive :D
