:lol: :lol: :lol:

Isn't that the best part of test driving? When the salesman asked me what I thought about taking the one I drove, I was tempted to say: "No thanks, I'd like one that hasn't been abused."

That's actually the car that got me thinking about getting a new one, but after looking into it, it seems a bit heavy and oversized for my tastes. My (realistic) dream car is the Lotus Elise, and I've just heard rumors that they will be imported next year. I sent an e-mail to my local Lotus dealer to see if he could confirm that and get me on a waiting list, so his answer will help me decide if I should get the Boxster. The Elise weighs half as much as the 350Z.

I never realised you didn't get the elise overe there.

You see a few of them about over here.

They've brought out the mark II, and a couple of special editions.

And watch for the exige, the racing version of the elise. (I followed one around town for 30 mins in the summer.) :kiss:

Yeah, I've been hoping they would import it since I first heard about it 5 or 6 years ago. I've seen a few when I've been in Europe, but, until now, I don't think they had the crash test data necessary for US sale.

A version of the Exige would be cool, but I'm afraid the price for that might go beyond what I could afford.

OK here goes. Now remember there are two of us that drive. One '99 Acura 3.2TL, one '02 Honda Civic, and one 1982 280ZX totally restored. We had a Harley but we sold it.

Cool!!! The old 280Z's (and 260's and 240's) used to be my favorites, but I preferred the two-seaters. I think the '82's had back seats, does yours? Too bad about the Harley, maybe you can buy a Buell to replace it.

No the only Z's with a backseat are the 2+2 models. My husband had one of those, 1979 - he was in an accident and totaled the car. Our 1982 is a coupe model - no back seat.

As for the Buell. No way. I want my Harley. My husband told me as soon as we retire and my son is grown (he's now 6) we'll get another. I had a customized paint job on the tank (which I upgraded). It was a 1992 883 Hugger.

Sounds nice!! (I'm not old enough for a Harley yet though) :lol: (just kidding . . . I am pretty old)

I JUST HAD A GREAT IDEA FOR MY RESTORATION JOB!!!

Well, if you check back a few pages, you'll notice my former ride (the yellow new beetle) had a wind-up key on the back of it...

I have a 1971 Super Beetle that I'm in the process of restoring...

A PENNY RACER!!! Have a giant Penny on the back of it :lol: :hammer: (ok, I'm turnin' her into a Herbie...but that would be a neat little idea )

Tried to attach a photo but it won't work. Too big!! How small do I have to make it. It was in JPEG. Is that the problem.

I'm not sure how big will fit. I think if you have a program that will take it down to 4" (not sure of pixels) it should work, or you can e-mail it to me at: and I'll shrink it and post it for you.

:wave:

There's a website ZCar.com that if you want to sell off parts of it, there are people looking. I know what you mean about electrical problems. Once that goes - forget about it. To rewire the whole thing is not worth it. Sell off parts of it and get some of your money back.
