Re: Another boring newbie post!...
Just a bit so far, dogs wanger handbrake is off and gear knob is a momo thing. Still got dodgy pink/red window winders and pink/red screws and washers for the dog panels can see a bit in the picture. Also the steering wheel is a bit much but is it worth changing? Its getting there hahaShug wrote:Colour's fine, now that the interior tat is toned down a little![]()

I like the wheel - very 1960s Lotus racer. Agree, the pink sh*t and the hooker-leather have to go though

Good luck inyour continued search
Ive seen a members car on here im very interested in, and its had what you mentioned above done, wasnt my first choice of colour buts its really grown on me the more i look at the picss29ttc wrote:Take your time, the right one will become available, don't rush in and buy crap. As I said colour should be way down on the priorities, I would be looking for the best value for money will all the things I meantioned that will save you money in the long run. Good tyres, good tread, good brake pad with life on them, good discs with life, changed suspension from standard konis etc etcGood luck with the search!
Im hoping we can agree on a deal soon and i will have an Elise sooner rather than later
Re: Another boring newbie post!...
You will love the car whatever colour you get. That winey/burgendy colour would have been my last choice but I have grown to love it. Worst comes to worst get it resprayed when the stonechips eventually get so bad at the front or after you become addicted track days
Pretty colours don't save money

Strongly tempted to offer you a swap for my black wheel, but my seat bolsters are blue and it'd clash horribly /jj

ps sorry about the stone chips and cracked driving lights that were probably down to me. Also the smashed rear window that he replaced.
It is a cracking little car, well looked after and serviced, and with the B&C conversion and hardtop, an excellent buy at that price.

Re: Another boring newbie post!...
Well done. Glad you got a nise S1. Are you gonna track it soon?

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.
