JimmyMac Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Now i may get moaned at, yelled at or even screamed at by some of you on here, but i'm new to the forum so be nice. I'm James, 23, live with parents in Ware, Herts and am looking to buy my first Lotus withing the next 18 months. I have my heart set on an Elise and S2 to be precise. I was 18 when i did a summer job delivering sports cars to rich ppl with more money than sense and thats where i got my first taste of an Elise S1 driving experience! In the next 12 months i intend to ask all your knowledgable ppl lots of questions before i pay the 15k or more for my Elise S2. So thats me hello and please dont get annoyed at me for asking silly questions. Cheers. Jimmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyMac Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 Well at the moment my budget is 23p! Seriously i'm nowhere near ready to buy an Elise yet but as i said in 18 months time i reckon i'll be fine. I'm still not exactly sure which model Elise to purchase thats why i thought i'd get registered ask a few questions and see how it goes. And i'm afraid yes being young i'm a bit of a tart and the S2 does look better than the S1 i'm afraid in my opinion of course! I know a little bit about Elise's but not nearly enough as i'd like to know! I am very interested in the track day sessions i here about as i do know a few Lotus owners. And thatnks for making me feel welcome so far i know being a young gun at 23 is frowned upon in some owners clubs where the age of many owners is how shall i put it 'More Mature' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rus Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 23 is frowned on by the insurance companies. Pain in the arse, the lot of em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought your S1 had bleeding nipple problems. Sounds like a girl to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark H Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Welcome Feel free to ask as many questions as you want. 23 isnt that young for an Elise owner, many start at that age or younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyMac Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 Dam guess i'm already labelled as a poof or a girl then! Good work for 5 mins being on the site! I'm afraid i'm just coming out of the boy racer type stage and looking for a more grown up car but still the fun! Yes 23 tryin to insure an Elise was quite amusing £2974 fully comp. yeah right! But i aim to get an Elise just after i turn 25 so its all working out perfectly. Just got to spend the time until then getting as much info as possible and find the right model of S2 Elise for me and i'm set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rus Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 The events section has info on runs that are going on as well as other pretty cool stuff, Mid engine races at Mallory the other week was a good day out. You can always come along on a run, sure there would be plenty of people would have you as a passenger and answer any questions they could.

JimmyMac Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 Well once i get to know a few more ppl on the site i will definately come along even if it is just to watch and see some Lotus's in action. I'm swaying more towards the S2 111s i like the look and spec of it but obviously thats just first impressions. A passenger would be good but dont want to be an excuse if we spin or worse crash!
