Congrats and hope you have a ball with it. I lusted after one of these for a several years and before buying my 40th AE I had a chance to test drive a flawless 2006 model. Even though I'm on the small side, I had some difficulty with ingress and there's a long list of other things you can complain about up until the moment you start it up and go. Funny how all of those little complaints just evaporate when taking a 90 at almost 50 (or at least that's the way it seemed). It was deja vu because before buying my 240Z in 74, I also test drove a Europa. That thing was overheating like crazy and had no visibility; but damn was it ever fun driving for a short stint.

If you haven't seen this already, here's a mandatory read you'll come to understand shortly if not already. Crossing the Country in a Lotus Elise from Plays with Cars. Enjoy!
