Elise no.2. It just gets better and better!

Post by ngaff1 » Tue Oct 31, 2006 11:24 pm

Just picked up a 111r from MMC

<BG> Fanbloodytastic! <BG>

Magnetic Blue with black wheels.

I truly loved my old S2 and someone will get a cracking wee car once it goes on the forecourt at MMC. But this new one, '06 spec, is awesome. I'll post somes pics soon. I love how different it looks with the black wheels.

It's currently sitting in the garage, still waiting for the cover note to arrive before I can tax it. What's the penalty if I get caught without a tax disk?

For the record, theres loads of bad stories about MMC on the forum (not had good experiences with MMC service department myself :evil: ) but think it only fair to say that Graeme has been really helpful and a pleasure to deal with. :thumbsup. Pity the servicing is not up to the same level as the sales department.

My one is standard spec. The PTP car was silver and had black OZ wheels. Very smart.

looks 8) mate am sure you will enjoy it. Didnt see the 111s supercharger. Still keeping my eyes peeled on autotrader and pistonheads.

Cheers

Good to hear you've got the car. I agree that you won't get bored with revving it beyond 6000rpm! :D Enjoy!

If you have the PTP conversion, the shift light will come on higher up the rev range - 7,300 is the rev limit with the PTP kit, 6,950 with the standard K and 7,3000 for S2 VVC IIRC.

Laters,
Robin
