Awesome Col - has the detailing kit been out yet?

I love ASBO colours, and I think on thoroughbred sports cars, brighter is better. However, chrome is too far (not a colour I know, but arguably the brightest finish you can get a car?)

Just back. Been out all over the show all day. An absolute licence loser. Fantastic drive, so rapid and gutsy. Most complete drivers car I have ever had. It's like a really really powerful elise. I completely love it. Mb is bound to remember this bit, if you turn the fans off, you get whiffs of engine fumes in the cabin. It even smells like a little race car and heats up really quick in the as you are sat on the engine almost. Amazing machine.

The colour makes this crazy car even crazier. It's absolutely perfect. It's my old elise with tons of power that for some reason makes you want to exit roundabouts. It's absolutely awesome.

The first car I have been to check the oil colour before leave for work after a 200 mile day

Now in my old beater and it feels like the brakes are broke. I did all round disks and pads 4 months ago so they aren't. But after a day like yesterday, these feel junk
