    My 430 finally came in on Tuesday and I'm pick her up tomorrow from FoLI. In addition, I saw a Nightfall Blue Elise at Lotus of Greenwich last week and she was pretty hard to resist.

    Anyway, I decided to add two new toys to my stable for the summer:

    06 Elise in Nightfall Blue/Biscuit Tan
    06 430 F1 in Blue Mirabu and Tan

    Yeah I like blue cars :D

    Here are a few pics:

    Now the question is....Will John show up on Sunday with the F430? I think that blue beauty is screaming to come out and play.

    NICE! Love your pick of cars... blue looks great on both.

    So how long will that Elise remain naturally aspirated??
    Best,

    That's for me to know and for you to find out ;) but my guess is it won't be too long...

    (06's ECU is rather stubborn and is impeding the process)

    John C & Robin: thanks for the invite...but I can't commit yet. I'm an early morning person only when it comes to coming home...then I spend 2 hours on F-Chat and other sites...so 8:30 am is a little early for me.

    PErhaps next time.

    HA! You make it sound like an impulse purchase of a pack of gum in the checkout line of a grocery store.

    Awesome cars. Love the blue.

    ps - what's dangling next to the driver's side rear wheel on the 430?

    It was pretty much an impulse buy...I thought about the car, googled a few video clips, went to Huntingridge, took a test drive, came back and shook Mark Starr's hand and bought the car.

    The dangling thing is the epitomy of Italian craftsmanship - a plastic drain tube.
