actually i think its your family who need to grow up, they should let you choose what you want, as long as you dont drive recklessly and its the money you make yourself.

think the new elise will have more standard eq to make it a more day to day car but I also heard the suspension also been tweaked for customers who are less skilled. if its true, you probably should look for a 2nd hand.

believe lotus also run a performance driving school on their test track, why dont you join that in your next euro trip.

Hi Keith,

What kind of rims are they ? Look awesome.

I believe I saw your car at BMW ToKwaWan few weeks ago.

Hope you can join us at our next meet (too bad I will be on the plane watching you guys driving).
