its not that great. personally I like tiff better than all those guys, he left Top gear though and made his own show. He ended up marrying that blonde chick that did the luxury cars for Top Gear...
Tiff is one hell of a driver.

you can pick up an Elise in the states for about 45,000... and it will beat the snot outta cars costing 5X as much on a track. But dont be fooled, this car basically ammounts to an alumium bathtub with an 4 wheels attached to it. Theres no intirior, the A/C and stereo were an addition just because Lotus didnt think they could sell the car in the states with out one.. the car has enough cargo room for a briefcase.... its designed for 1 thing and 1 thing only.. to Drive.

If you get on the list now, maybe you can have your Lotus by Christmas 2006. My friend has been on the Elise list for months and months now. When he gets it, I'll see if he'll let me drive it.
