20090226: Lotus Elise spin


Tested the Lotus Elise this evening.
With the Malaysian alliance with Lotus, we are privileged to obtain the CBU (Completely Built-Up), or FULLY IMPORTED from the UK (United Kingdom) at CKD (Completely Knocked Down) rates!

However, at the current economic turmoil, certain parties are unhappy over this situation (I wonder if Kak Pidah is involved), and as a result, some units are apparently stuck at the customs in Port Kelang (Westport of Northport, unsure).
If you know someone in the JABATAN KASTAM, you could verify this claim.

Neverthess the heart was pounding hard as this baby accelerated from 0-100km/h in a mere 5.1 seconds from its 190 bhp 1.8 litre engine! Check out the performance here!

The super light 800+ kg aluminum chassis sported a cockpit that was super-duper cramped for my body size.
I think I'm gonna settle for the EVORA (not Exora!) since the Esprit is not sold anymore!
Saving my RM10 daily now! (Is that enough, with Kak Pidah still around?)
Well, perhaps enough to get a second hand Elise, which is as cheap as a new Proton Saga!
Remember it's only a 2 seater (like Smart car, and most other sports cars!)
All local dudes can join the club here!
