Spot on, you are young but you are not a Jedi.I had an Elise for 4 months and loved every minute of it (had x3 boxsters and a 911 before) it was great.However, an Exige is the dady, test drive a few first and get a feel for it as the S1 and S2 both vary in drive/control etc. Super package all round, but you will end up going for an Exige if you want the drive of your life for �605k less than the Mc F1.Also look on www.selco.org as all us guys are mad, cheers, Mark.
