aye, its not me looking for advice at all :)
It is just a debate :)
So many times we talk about s1 or s2 and someone comes in saying "S1" or "S2" ;)

ive never driven a s1. Have sat in a couple.

Looks wise, i like bits of both! :D

i wondered when someone would say "the perfect elise is this one coz its got the right suspension, right wheels and right tyres, and its no that heavy"
;)

think i said to someone at the hill climb that i think an elise is an elise.
They all have different things that are better than the other - but when u drive one u know ur driving an elise ;)

I think the Exige S1 is sooooo sexy! the tuned K series makes me nervous, but ive watched the in car clips on an exige around the 'ring sooo many times!

Having not had one for just over a week, i really miss it...
When i first looked for actually buying the elise (looking for over 6 years, saving) I specced one that would be ideal to me at that time. And i would still love it if i had it now (dunno if its repairable yet or not!). But I found that over time i didnt give a hoot about rattles or the finish of the paint - it was always the driving that brought the smile to my face. I get sore heads, and lots of times ive gone for a drive and found my headache gone! Loved looking forward to a longer drive on the way home, or at the weekend. Even more loved the top off - winter, summer, raining, at night, anytime! Kept 2 hats and a spare jacket in the boot ;)

This may sound strange, but when I was reading about the EVO long term S2 Exige every month I wanted one really bad. Now they have sold it, I could take it or leave it. Not fussy about them now.
Well it moves... might as well make the most of it....

doubt it mate, you just bought them in the wrong order!!

So we're all agreed then, Greg has to get an S1 Exige? ;)
