Bob by the time you get here the ash trays will be full and you will be ready for a new one. Keep enjoying the one you have.  ;D :)

david you speak of the elise not the exige, it will be closer to $80k

True on the elise vs exige.  The $58k number was printed in the paper here last week.  Might be a US number.  Friend who has one of pre-order is expecting to pay something in the $60s - hope he's not in for a rude shock.

Summer is most definitely here!!  (It's been about 30C+ all week)  So I went out and bought a really nice small professional socket set, with torx heads, which means, roof off fun!

 :D

I have to leave the roof at home, so I have to be absolutely sure it ain't gonna rain all day until I get home...

It needs a wash but hey, these were taken on the drive to work this morning at about 7am.

And out at the pub tonight with a couple of mates from work, apparently his RX-8 drinks a litre of oil every 1000 miles.  :o

Hope you like the pics.

The car looks great Bob, maybe carry a small tarp and some soft ropes which you could cover it up on the bad days when you get caught.  :)

No.  :) But you should buy a diesel truck with bigger fart cans and functional rear deck spoilers.  :)

No worries Sideshow...the Elise is available so I'm sure you can arrange some sort of preferred customer status.
