2005 Lotus Elise

I'm new here so I figured I'd post up a few photos of our little pride & joy. Can't wait to attend a cruise or two!














You can see more (lots more) photos of our car at LotusEliseBlog.com.

Nice car and pictures! Are you on LouisvilleStreets.com?

Yep, actually owned LouisvilleStreets for about a year or so back around 2001.

Hey Shaggy!

It's nice to see you here.
When are you going to visit us in Indy?

Figured I'd add the last photos of the Elise here...

This is a small community so I'm sure you all remember this from about a month and a half ago...



Well, insurance ended up declaring it a total loss. When I went up to Cincy to strip my goodies off of it the car looked like this...





Kinda scary that it was totaled without even getting into the area under the rear clam, goes to show just how expensive these cars are to fix.

I searched around for a bit and after accepting that I wouldn't be happy with a second hand Elise/Exige I ended up buying this...







2001 Laguna Seca Blue M3, one of my other long time favorite cars. About as quick as the Elise and with a ton more room for traveling and living with on a daily basis. Honestly, the biggest plus is that I don't feel guilty driving this every day, something I wrestled with in the Elise.




Oh, and to answer some questions that I overlooked... "Yes, it was on"

More on that later

poor lil bugger

was it all cosmetic? or was there frame damage too?

Sad to hear about the Elise but congrats on the Bimmer! Gorgeous color.

Nothing frame related as far as I know, mostly cosmetic but some hidden things like the crash structure were damaged as well.

It's a shame about the Elise. It always sucks to see one towed away. I've had my fair share and it's never fun.

Congrats on the M3 though! My wife was just going on about one of those at the autocross on saturday.



Beautiful car, there. We may be replacing her imprezza with one of those in a couple years. In my opinion, that's the best looking model of M3 as well.

you can post that pick so fast, but no others!!! or video

I think the E30 (original) was the best but for overall comfort mixed with raw power I think my generation has it going on

Honestly it's not as fun as the Elise (I get the feeling no car will match it) but for the extra stuff it adds I can definitely live with that!

Laguna Seca Blue E46 M3!!!!

We were just looking for one but we couldn't find one...so we ended up getting a Volvo S60R.

Congrats on the purchase, you need to give me a ride, I'll vote for you if you ever wanna be a mod

i wanna see what im not aloud to see. !
Be sure to let us know when were aloud.


Congrats on the purchase. I wasnt very happy to see your no longer a lotus man. But if you were in need of a more daily driver you definitely picked a nice choice.

Great color and great car.
