Getting to know the locals

[sambibabe]

I can't park either.. I am seriously thinking about getting VW, that comes with automatic parking feature.

The Lotus Elise we had didn't have the steering control, so it was hard to park. Plus if you drive it, every little V8, V6, WRX and imported cars want to drag you and it is tiring

Automatic parking you say... *runs off to investigate*

LOL so true about the dragging. My man is determined to get a Viper at some stage so you could imagine how silly those two cars would look next to one another...the Viper would eat the Lotus haha

 

[MrsMay]

^^ our Managing Director keeps driving his wife's car into work... a brand new red Lotus Elise

He bought it for her as her 50th birthday present as a surprise.

 

[sambibabe]

Wow!! I don't think I'd want to drive a car like that when I am 50 though.. I would want something more easy and comfy to drive!

Hotpinkheels, Elise will kick Viper's ass anytime at least

It really corners like it is on rail

They have the BMW M5 for that

I believe they also have a small people mover kind of car, and are looking something along the lines of a Mazda CX9 to replace this in the near future...

 

[sambibabe]

We are getting more practical with cars as we get older.. We traded in Lotus Elise for VW people mover and it is only two of us sitting in the car everyday.
