Just picked up my new wheels a couple of days ago: a modified Lotus Elise 111s (S2). Car has quite a lot of extras: OZ alloys, Lotus sports suspension, Lotus Stage 1 Exhaust, Close ratio gearbox, HID conversion, Aluminium-belled discs...

There's a serious number of VERY nice and VERY expensive cars listed in this thread. I think we should have a poll of how many people actually own "their" car.
Got anything to do with Short Circuit?
I personally classify mine as 'VERY nice', but I agree. Seems rare that there would be that many people on here with those cars...
(BTW, my 'VERY nice' car is a 99 Dodge Intrepid ES )
my 19th birthday present && first car
(i'll get nicer pics when the weather gets better!)
My sister's got a fig! A Lapis grey one! Although she's moved to Poland for a year so I've got it.
You didnt buy yours from a dealer in Wanstead by any chance did you? He replaced the distibutor with one from a Nissan Primera, it flies now (esp when you put in Tesco Super Unleaded)

The G8 won't be that similar. Trust me, I've got a toned down Australian version and it's much much better. The old GTO was based on a platform dating back to 1997 whereas the new G8 is quite heavily revised. I find the biggest difference is in the steering precision and ride comfort, to be honest.

180,000 registered members with, what 2-300 "nice" cars. Doesn't seem that unlikely. And (assuming mine is one of the nice ones), yes I own it. Paid cash. But it wasn't all that expensive (never buy brand new).
Where are you getting your information?I originally thought about the m3 but not the RS4 or C63. Also from the reviews I have read and watch seems as though the m3 is not competing well against the IS-F, RS4, and C63.
Phiberglass, thats a beauty right there. Is the exhaust note perfect? Those exhaust pipes sorta scare me though....
Oh my gosh! You are one lucky duck
Stage 3 audi s4 6 speed manual transmission. It is fast REALLY FAST! 2 turbo's Over 450hp.
Beautiful! I almost bought an A4 1.8T a couple of years ago. (and I kinda regret not buying it now) It was a '99 with only 40k on it, manual transmission, black with cream-colored leather. It wasn't a Quattro, but was still fun to drive and decently quick. (at least compared to the cars I'm used to driving)
You should post some more pics of your S4.
Thank you for the kind words sir. I had 2 a4's before this car. I loved the reliability of them. Here is the S in the murdered out winter mode. Yes, it gets pulled over all the time.
