Where from, How much and are they any good? The missus wants an Elise, but I doubt I can afford one so I was thinking of getting her one of those driving experiences?

Silverstone do one for 150, but you only do 9 laps of the small back circuit, any better ones out there?

Cheers.

 

Have a look at prices mate. Cheap cars now. and awesome fun. Splash out and buy 'her' one

 

Still a bit out of my league, but not as bad as I thought, Ill save up for a bit and surprise her,

 

yes surprise 'her'

Just like when Homer bought Marge a bowling ball for her birthday

 

Seriously though it would be for 'Her" as I am very Blue oval blinkered (not that I dont respect other marques for what their cars can (still) do)

Though if I had a Lotus it would have to be and Exige or Esprit.

 

I did a FULL day at Lotus' very own Hethal track in both S2 Elises & S1 Exiges. Was a great day & should be enough to pursuade you.........sorry her that she wants one! That was going back 4yrs now though.

 

They open to the public? what sort of price did you pay?

 

Was open to the public then but wouldn't have a clue now. Was a Birthday present so couldn't tell you a price!

 

I have been looking for one for my other half and found these 2

Still not sure which one to go for

With most i have found you only get about 20 min in car time been told that the Rockingham is really good

Also Silverstone dont do the Lotus Elise one its the Lotus Exige

how much do these go for now Porkie?? and wat ones are good as i fancy a little toy at the moment as drivin a mondeo company car daily is killing me

 

Have you never heard of Autotrader?

My mate's selling a S2 Elise, but I best get him to phone Lee to get the market rate before putting it up!

 

hahah yeah i have Rich but NEVER known anything about these.....apart from its a really gay car lol i may get a yellow one with pink stripes lol

 

I went to Hethal as well - half day around the track, and half day around the factory.

Was arranged through SELOC, but I'm sure they are just open to public too.

That seemes pretty good, about the same amount of time in the car as the others but alot cheaper, and a tour of the factory.

They are going for around 7K plus on autotrader.

 

That's the one

 

I have just order my other half this one for a wedding present
