OT! Elise club is sort a like 914club Options

[Qarl]

I am a member of one of the Lotus Elise discussion groups.

There are a few similarities between them and over here...

914club is by far superior, but it's nice to know that there are other's besides us!



Here are some highlights...

1. The car is a bit of an exclusive, so it's a lot different than a mustang discussion group. Because of the $, you don't get a lot of kids clogging the board which is nice. Sorry Aaron!


2. One member was in an accident already. They raised money to set him get well wishes. A dealer held a canceled car order for him to replace his demolished beast. Some nice comraderie going on.

4. People are trying to figure out how to make a cup holder for the Elise


5. Lots of concern about VIN numbers


6. To LSD or not?

7. Discussions about reducing weight of the car (It already is less than 2,000 lbs!) Perhaps URY914 should go pay a visit.

I was at the press day at the LA Auto show last year and I sat in the elise. I was totally digging it, it felt really good and just mean. Then I reached down for the shifter and couldnt find it! I was looking around, then moved my leg and found it! Uh oh! They really arent made for people my height (6'4"). One of the Lotus people came over and said (in a british accent) "how do you like it?" and I said "it would be great if I could get it into first." He kinda smiled and said "well, we werent really... um... " then i stepped out of the car and he said "oh, you're bigger then you look" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
