We need more crazy green Elises in our lives. Like lime tic tacs. Memories of 2001 ish and Scandal Green Sport 160's. Lovely.

Good call.

Nice garage too. No crap!!

Chris,

For a moment while the pics were loading on my slow broadband I was thinking you were going to be posting up a 981 Spyder or GT4 ;)

The green of the Elise cup looks fantastic and it will definitely turn heads. Often thought with cars getting so much faster that taking it down a very slight notch is a good way to go.

Thanks for all the comments.

I fully agree with George’s point in that sometimes less is more. The V6 Exige is a fantastic car but mine was never used hard. Whoever buys it will be getting a great, well looked after car.

I was initially disappointed at the release of the 250 Cup just after I had agreed to purchase this but the reality is Lotus are continually evolving the range, the 250 Cup is more expensive again and will be further limited in number.

Also worth mentioning after being advised the 220 Cup would be fixed hard top only (turbulence from the aero?!?) the 250 is coming as a soft top. Soft top has been purchased!

Cheers. We recently moved house to let me get the garage. Bit of a dodgy photo but you get the idea. It's 11m long with three 3.1m doors :)

Too true :thumbsup

Did you play GTA and decide you wanted that garage? It even has the bikes in the corner too.
