WTB '05 Lotus Elise. Thoughts?

Hijack alert -- I am a new Elise owner, too. Sadly I don't pick it up until April 25th. 2007, Sport Pack, Stage 2 exhaust, 7000 kms.

Krypton green. You only live once.

I'll post pics soon.

Awesome. Congrats!!!

I presume you mean 2011?

I'd be too excited to even make the post, so I don't blame you.

I bet he means he picks up his 2007 elise on 4/25

Yep -- 2007 starts a new sentence.

Of course, I just learned my friend purchased a 2011 Exige S . . .

Kick him in the nuts and tell him to buy a real car. That'll confuse him. My friends always look at me weird when I say there Miata is a girl car, as I climb out of my own.

Oh I am dumb.

In reply to tuna55:

Nah, I wasn't very clear. I should have said "It is a 2007 . . ."

NICE!!!! Now you can call it "The Tennis Ball!!" Color really stands out, and the exhaust will make you tear up because it sounds so gooooood!

Congrats!

I want a ride!

Anything else that a reasonably skilled wrench couldn't handle? I'd farm out any body/frame jobs like I would with any car, but the rest seems doable. Is that assumption off base?

That is my thinking as well. I sure hope that is the case because I am planning on one being in the driveway in about 14 months.

I was thinking "Kermit" . . .

Or a plate that reads Kr 36.

A friend used to track his. He challenged me to get in and out of it. I'm +100 lbs on him. When I got out of it he was stunned. Then I asked him to get into my NA Miata with a hard top and racing seats. He got stuck. Practice man, practice
