I caught up with your #EccentricRichUncle at the Olympics where he cleared 39.2 m on the Ski Jumping Large Hill, competing for Vatican City. (Don't ask.) "They call me 'The Ostrich'," he said. Anyway, he'll buy any car you want but this time there is a US$20k price limit.

So being that 20k US is 16848 Euros... #EccentricRichUncle is buying me the most lurid S1 Elise I've ever seen, just. Do I care it's de-registered or RHD? Not even slightly! I need an Elise.

The exterior styling of these is so good, especially the rear, but the interior is honestly kinda meh.

Because I'm wired to be emotional sometimes, I've been rewatching the Beatles Anthology series and contemplating the lads and myself as teens. I imagine I could have been school friends with Paul and George. I would have wanted to be John, but I was nowhere near cool enough to pull it off.

I’m going to go with an R129. Just a question of picking the right one, but this high mileage example with a mystery box of RENNtech upgrades seems promising, if I can’t talk the V12 seller down a couple grand
