Coming from an Elise 111R although preaty modified! (Supercharger, 2bular manifolds- decat - GT3 exhaust, Remapped, Motorsport engine mounts etc.. 270HP Was the last figure)

Just thought i would give a little and hope to see some of you about!

Well done Kerbys.

What's the spec ?

Watch out for strange people asking to see pics of the car

[lady topaz]

Welcome to the best forum on PH.

Only two things to remember.

1. Pics compulsory
2. Any thread you start will go off topic within 6 posts unless Jockman is on holiday away from a computer.

Hey Kerby. Big Welcome. Not only is it the best forum, it is the most pedantic by far and as noted also very prone to going off topic.
Make sure you do a bit of spellchecking before you click submit or the typo police will be onto you

Before you take the car from the dealer check out for bubbling paint round the door handles. These links deal with some of it:-

Welcome & enjoy!
BTW I'd want to put paint film over that nice new front end to preserve the finish

[kerbys]

I know but really hate the finish you lose with the film! Inever did it with my elise. I doubt ill start now.

I know what you mean, my last AM hd it on and I stuck with it glad I did.
So much so I put Ventureshield on the new V8VS, you cannot see the a difference and it polishs up like paint
These thing pick up chips easy and a respray is not cheap.

Welcome, enjoy the car and the crazy banter on this forum

[robgt]

Congratulations!! The feelgood factor will nver diminish! Now book the Alpine Tour in June, so far ours is the only Aston going.

Nice spec. Was that car originally supplied by Lancaster Cambridge?

Are you sure? I'd understood that he wears a skirt.... and slippers.

Back on thread.....

Great spec kerbys - you getting a cover with it or is your garage big enough (unlike mine).
