One of the few advantages of age is that we can say been there .. done that
--- and you don't know what you are talking about Chris. While I haven't
driven the Elise I have the Elan, Elite and the twin cam Super Seven's - in
fact I raced some of them wheel to wheel. I've also driven and raced the
Corvette wheel to wheel - anyone who claims this is not a sports car really
doesn't understand the definition of the word. There are a lot of world
class cars made ALL OVER THE WORLD not just those in Old Blighty - so get
off your "high horse".
