    I've got an Elise.....!!!

    To drive around a racing circuit for a certain period of time (cant remember the exact time)!!!!

    I got it as a gift yesterday for my birthday from my girlfriend!

    Well chuffed! I've got a year to use it, gotta pick a date and I get to do advanced driving in a Lotus Elise!!!!

    And to top it all off, I got a Shuttle today too!

    I'm soo happy!

    www.buyagift.co.uk (I think).

    or Red Letter (not sure of the URL, but google it)!

    Yeh, well chuffed about the present, I didnt realise the Elise was rear wheel drive! Might have to get some rear wheel slides goin

    In total I will be in the car for about 2hrs, with a 30minute blast for myself.

    I will probably do it next year sometime, I've got until Sept 04 to use it up

    I think we will make it a family day trip out and give the digital camera to my dad and let him take loadsa piccies off me!

    I got a drive around Croft in a Caterham 7 experience for my 21st last year and had a seizure the day before I was supposed to do it!

    My dad got his money back and bought me a washer/drier for my new flat....

    I will get round to doing it at some point though.

    Will there be room for some m8s to come down and just generally hang around at trackside and remark on how dangerous and irresponsible your being

    ...Maybe i am wishful thinking!
