Had my Elise S2 111s for about 6 weeks and just been living with it, taking it out for a drive every now and again just getting used to it as you do. Ran down to Sunday Service at Rolls Royce, bit of motorway driving and had a play on some lanescloud9 Loving the handling, just so direct.

Getting a little bit more confident I thought I would give it the beans evil. Comming out of a slow corner from some lanes onto a short straight I nailed it in 2nd. It lept forward and just pulled hard, letting the revs climb as I kept the throttle nailed, quick shift into 3rd and nailed it againeek .

Holy mother of god that thing shifts like nothing I have driven before. Admittidly I have not owned any fast cars before but this is unbelievable

I have a slight problem. I switched over from Orange broadband to Sky last week and I have not figured out how to send and receive emails. I can not get the password to sign in.

LOL,
Sky uses GMail.
Did you set up a new email address on SKY.com?
if so go to the sky home page and then you can access it. Have you forgotten the password?

Sounds good thumbup

I just got back from a two week holiday pootling around slowly in the family hatchback.

Was itching to get behind the wheel of my car, typically when I got the opportunity it seemed that every learner or pensioner in Kent wanted to be on the same roads as me.

Decided to go home and sulk, and finally found a bit of clear-sighted country lane, down to 2nd, foot-to-floor, fuuuuuu, 3rd, foot-to-floor, fuuuuu.....

Oh yes, now that's what I'm talking about smokin

It's almost worth getting "un-used" to it again.

Yep, can understand that mate. I'm driving the vx daily and keep being suprised by the way it can just pick up and head off towards the next corner at an alarming rate of knots.... Love it, its addictive!

I'm nearly done serving my 'ban' on seloc. So I MUST come eh? I remember when I first met you and you said I MUST buy an Elise Sport 160, you're so persuasive, you should take up a job in sales.
