and got a ride in a car...

the one with the white stripe - 39 inches high and a race gordini engine - like a rocket! - can you see my grin from here?

Assume the Lotus position!! :thumbsup: :devilgrin:

no kidding - the owner is maybe a little bigger than me - which means that 2 of us affected the acceleration - (and that's all I'm going to say about that :eeek: ) - you don't really get in one as much as you put it on - kind of like a condom with wheels.

When I got home I measured Ms Triss - she sits about 36" high without front window - the Lotus had been lowered from 42" to 39" - amazing
 
Unfortunately the Europe IMHO is ugly as H_ll! Now the Elan on the other hand or the 7 / 7 clone, just classic. Got a chance to drive a 7 Clone and ride in a Supercharged 7 Clone. It was Truly an "OH MY GOD!!!! experience.
 
"Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder", and I have always liked the Europa, particularly the later twin-cam.
I think I'd like one for my garage, to sit by my Elise.
 
As you said, "In the eye of the beholder." Elise looks like a quite fun ride. You'll make the rest of us jealous. Glad you can get to enjoy it.
