Goafer Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Random fact about the Elise (and probably Exige): Imagine a line where the windscreen meets the bonnet. The 2 sections you now have are actually glued together. It was originally an idea being tested at a university to save weight, but it worked so well that Lotus used it on the Elise. If you have a bit of a front end smash, they can just glue another front end on providing the damage isn't too bad. There is no doubt that Colin Chapman would have been proud to see that the first road car, the Lotus Elise, to be produced with a chassis held together with only glue, was produced by his company, Lotus.

Will Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Will it seems you have been spotted driving about: I love that pic, makes me want to dress up and do it myself. There's also one of Darth Vader in a black Ariel Atom - even better! Practically the whole car is held together with glue, the chasis itself is, as are both the front and back ends. It's weird orange coloured stuff. You can see it along the joins inside the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 My new wheels! Only 35k miles, PAS, ABS, 5 doors, CD Player, 2 airbags, better fuel economy than my last car. Only £1500, which I thought was pretty darn good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolan Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 FML, my truck now only travels in Reverse. I do sorta have another vehicle lined up, but I don't have the full amount on hand yet Luckily it's from family friends so, I maybe able to make payments on it, plus it's in good condition and fair condition bluebooks at 4400. My price won't be near that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goafer Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) At work last night, this was on the front cover of one of the magazines. It taunted me with its beauty.

Only £1500, which I thought was pretty darn good! Where did you get that from? I'm in the market and can never find these good deals that everyone else seems to get! That's the type of car I'm after, lowish mileage, cheap to run and insure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the type of car I'm after, lowish mileage, cheap to run and insure. It was actually eBay that I found it. The reason it was so cheap was because it had been a class D write off - the bumper had been damaged and would have been more expensive than the value of the car to repair. The guy who we bought it from obviously had some source for fixing it on the cheap and selling it on, but meh, its completely unnoticeable.

Shorty Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I need a new car but I have no idea where to start. A 3 or 5 door hatchback is fine for me, preferably petrol, maybe with a bit more oomph than a 1.2/3l engine. Anyone got any reccomendations? I'm considering either a brand new car via the scrappage scheme, or something 5 or so years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caris Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 1.6 Focus? You can get 3-4 year old ones for about £7k which I think is a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The following post is a dramatisation of actual oppinions. Viewer discretion is advised. Man alive, I think I'd kill myself if I had to drive a Focus every day. Plus I just can't see 7k as a great deal for one. The numbers add up (7k for a resonably new car), but there is so much more you could get for that money.

For a lot of people a car has a purpose, and needs to be cost effective. A Focus can do 55miles to the gallon + Only going to the petrol station once every month is sweeet. :P (ie yay for new cars) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
