Rented a Lotus Elise today with pics.......
It was my bday today so i decided to rent a lotus, and all i can say is wow, i love it. Its so much fun to drive, its fast, when you get to 5000 revs and then it kicks in again. Its so nice. Handles really well too. I will def be buying the Exige 204s when i have the money. They only had the elise to rent today but it really exceeded my expectations.....

Cool
Happy B-Day English dude! Looks like you had a good B-Day toy
I like it with the hard top and no skunk stripes. In silver.

How does the shift **** feel in comparison? How does the engine feel? Does it feel like it's falling apart in terms of build?

Great choice. There's only one (new) for sale in my area, but I continue to drool over it!

user24 the shift **** i liked better, it seemed to go into gear a lot easier. The car is just a different class to the rx8. Its a straight up sports car.
I didnt take any pics of the interior to be honest

That's sweet. I want to rent one but I'm sure I wouldn't fit in any Lotus (perhaps an Esprit...)
