A Day with a Lotus Elise...

[NetRyder]

Wonder what he did to get the boss to give up the car? Hmmmmmmm???

Completed a feature that's been on their todo list for far too long.

DAAAMN...
I could buy one of those...
I wonder if the misses would go for that...

Be careful. These things get a lot of stares, especially since they're pretty rare to see on the streets. The other guy who was with me took the car downtown and got lots of looks from the girls. Apparently, his wife (who was sitting at the side) wasn't pleased.

I see people make noises about the Elise and all I can think is it seems a girls car... now I know that sounds bad - but I did once know a girl that owned one (lived on Jersey with NO speed limits too!)....

I have always hankered after a go in the Eclát - but maybe that just makes me old?

Pretty sweet travel schedule - did you get any cool pictures from the areas you were able to visit?

yeah, all the pictures from inside the base camp:laugh:

 

[Grandmaster]

^ Those pictures would be unsuitable for these forums

 

[Mainframeguy]

drop me a message if you deploy anything to Afghanistan - esp. if it overlaps with Treasury - I have a friend out there working as a contractor on treasury systems...

There's 3 at my building where I work. Took one for a spin (my m8's) and it's a nice car.

It's basically what the Toyota MR2 spyder shoulda been (it's basically the same car, with tweaks, literally, same chassis, engine, blah blah blah).

And you don't drive stick Kunal? Come on brother, you gotta get you some lessons. The ladies love a guy who can drive stick

It's unfortunate we never got to hang out when I lived in Tampa

Maybe one of these days. I am hoping to make it there during the Nasdaq open next spring.

The plan is to get that going as soon as I possibly can.

I have three empty bedrooms and a BIG open house..

I still have plenty from when I was in Iraq.
I only got a few from Qatar and Bahrain...

In Dubai, I was running from one end of the airport to the other...

HOLY CRAP thats a long jog...

Anyway, the other places would not allow photos Yemen (none at all)
Djibouti, I took a few, but that place is like an empoverished Haiti...
(and yes I already realize how impoverished Haiti is...)

EDIT: I will see what interesting photos I can pull out for you all to look at.

Beautyful car. Although it is a Toyota MR2, it has a toyota engine and is only 190 horsepower. Here is the website: http://www.lotuscars.com/. I don't think it's worth $40,000.00 with the specs they gave ...

Nothing hard about driving stick at all. I even prefer it over automatic since it provides more control and it is less easy to fall asleep when one has to keep shifting .
