Elise into a second car
Discussion
All,
The dark day has come when I'm going to have to get a eurobox to drive around in everyday as I will have to do a lot of miles and The Company is going to lease me an underpowered, 2 tonne, oil burning box of boredom. With the blessing (and in fact encouragement) of The Wife I am going to keep the liz and have it as a second car. Don't think it'll get much use but hopefully take it to a track or two and use it at weekends and stuff. Any advice about how to keep the love affair going when a new lady is more regularly used? I don't want to go to the extent of making it a track only mota to save a few hundred quid on insurance, but making it a bit cheaper would be useful.

I too was presented with a diesel eurobox(its actually quite good fun to throw about!)by my company and now do 25k a year in it.
The Elise comes out every weekend rain or shine as i cant wait to go out in her,and i still manage about 10k a year doing that(along with a load of t/ds,runs and Euro trips including Spa and Stelvio recently).
Best advise would be to look on Seloc at your region and try and meet up with a few like minded people to enjoy the car with

BE CAREFUL!!!!!
I speak from experience here.
My wife agreed to the elise as a second car.
She now drives the elise more than I do! She's playing you, just make sure you're aware!
As others have said, limited mileage insurance. Our's is limited to 4k PA.
As long as it's in a garage you'll find not using it as much won't do it any harm, certainly not like a TVR that prefers to be used.
good luck my friend.
