The Elise Effect

[Foley]

Scott, I think you ought to post them up for those who haven't seen them and then we can give you our collective opinion:)

hey..that avatar isn't working properly !

 

let have a go at this one from my seloc login that they took off

That's rude. She looks about 11.

[malbon]

I've NEVER seen an 11 year old that looks like that

 

Graeme...do you want to borrow my Picasso

I'm not bothered about people posting piccys unless I get any complaints then I'll take them down. Just take care what you post as people view the site from work, I think snowmans avatar was borderline for work but since no one complained I left it. Hate censorship

Agree with you totally Mark. Most folks on here will meet each other at some point anyway so it's likely to be a bit friendlier and less abusive than some other forums. FWIW I thought Snowman's avatar was funny anyway. I can't log in from work because of the sodding internet gestapo. Next group for the chop me thinks...

Bit like a Picasso. It's the funky one with skirts, spoilers & alloys. Bit like lipstick on a pig really. Let's just say it wouldn't be my choice! But I do get a choice in March and fancy an RX8.

 

 

Actually, I found myself in the wilds of Leicestershire earlier this week. Very strange and unsettling experience to drive some of our "Elise roads" in something much more wobbly. How do ordinary folk cope with their ordinary cars, ALL THE TIME?

RX8.. mmmm lovely!

 

That girl isn't actually 11, shes 19, she released a song called Moi Lolita though... I have the video (having just spotted she was actually only 15 when she released it ) IIRC she is called Alizee or something similar.

 

Ah ha http://www.moi-alizee.com/

 

May i point the honourable gentlemen in the direction of the Gallery and Videos section

ROFLMAO @ Scott Mac

 

Graeme... lucky you...RX8's look nice but what about a 350Z ?

 

Tell me about driving other cars on Elise Roads......

 

Boat like is the word. I often picture these car designers/testers going out to test drvie their new product that they have sweated blood over for the past few years..something like a Picasso on a country road. doh !

 

I know they need to be comfortable but their must be some trade off in the handling stakes. It's fine to stop all the bumping around when the kids have drinks on the pull down trays but what happens at the first corner?

 

rant over

Personally I find it easier just to chuck a shovel full of mud and assorted food/drinks into the car before we set off because then at least I'm not quite so horrified when I see what he's doing...
