Default Paint Seal Lotus

I paint sealed this Lotus Elise the other day, good thing I didn't have to pick it up, because I couldn't get my legs in it. Its made for little people. Finish was really rough on the top sections, claying corrected that real nice. Did not need to use my deep cleaner, so I went right to the sealant.

I work at a Porsche and Lotus dealership... put one of our 911 turbos next to an Elise, and I could bet most people would be more attracted to the Lotus.

They are a BLAST to drive... but very impractical...

Of course, owning my A4 avant kinda justifies having a toy.



BTW, i squeezed my 6'5" dad in the passenger seat at one of our AutoX events.... tight, but we had a blast. We also have a 6'5'" customer who drives it everyday. Anything past 6'4" and it becomes a verrrry tight fit. I'm 6' and i fit very comfortably.

I'm 6 foot as well, and I fit into the Elise and Exige better than an S2000 and a Miata. They are actually very comfortable and have decent interior room. They do have very compact exterior dimensions, but they fit people up to about 6'4'. We have a 6'5' customer, and my 6'6' dad actually folded himself in for a few rides at our track meets.
