Twisty hilly rough...
Poor surface tarmac, the route we took was about 15 miles countryside, two lane ..probably 50 sharp bends and some great hilly straights ...FUN

Cool cars one and all, Richard. It would be fun to get together with that variety for a little drive. Very different cars with very different personalities.
As far as car names, mine really doesn't have one. It's been called many very colorful names, but they vary with how much my knuckles happen to be bleeding at the moment...

I think that Lotus is an Exige, and not an Elise.
