How the hell did he fit in 6ft4 and the steering wheel literally sits on my knees in them lol

What’s next buddy?

Beyond special tbh, I'd have one over any supercar, properly driveable.

We have some home improvements needing doing and a big holiday in August so I’ll have to just hold off for a bit. It’s hard for me to have an empty garage too though lol, it will be less expensive anyway if I did get something.

At least I got to own one for a while and experience what they are all about. A go kart for the road and the perfect weekend toy.

I’ve no idea Pete, I pulled up at the airport to pick him up and the first thing I did was shake his hand and ask him “eh how tall are you”? He said don’t worry I can fit in my brothers S1 Elise

Was just going to say the S2 isn't too bad, try an S1

I'm 5'8 and have the seat right back as far as it goes, and it fits like a glove Head still almost touches the roof

Nice one Baz!!

Have you seen the Clio 182 Turbo track car local on FB??

 

[Burt2000]

I did see that car yes Barry, I’d say it would be some fun.

I had a Porsche 997.2 C2S manual and an Elise S3 220 at the same time 2 years ago and 1 had to go due to lack of use. Both were about the same value.

I didn't even think about it.

The Porsche is long gone.

 

[Burt2000]

The 2 seats is a deal breaker for me these days though. I’ll Need 4 going forward.
