ivan Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 If you really want to have to wear a helmet wherever you go you might as well get a bike - or an Atom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRASUZUKI Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 You don't have to wear a helmet, but it is advisable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I belive you could just buy MR2 Roadster and put Celica engine in for around 3k engine and 6speed gearbox included This one looks nice outside, but i dunno if i like interior not to mention o comfort of driving. And it is overpriced... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave36 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I so nearly bought an elise instead of my supra, I also loved the look, its a piece of art on wheels. What put me off was the constant tinkering they need, when you start looking under the shell they are so much like a kit car. With all the same sort of daft but niggling problem. (Been there, done that) Mind you if u dont mind that, and you ve time to tinker, its one hell of a car, and if buy one Rich ill definately want a blast, lol!

ozz Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 If I was going to spend that kind of money I'd go for the Noble. Low mileage minters for £24k...mmmm. The running costs don't seem that bad either - £3k per year they reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 That track day 2Eleven is great...out handles an Atom I'd have one if I had that kind of money to throw away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Apparently it's Lotus' answer to the X-bow. Superb track day machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 For that money you could buy an F3000 with a Mugen in it, and lap the Lotus in about a single lap of Donington if you are going to buy what is basically a toy you might as well get a really quick one.
