OT: Lotus Elise

[andre at nwmicrobrews.com (Andre Bjorkheim)]

I've got a friend who is also on the waiting list, although he is now
somewhat unsure as he found out that the passenger seat is fixed and the
footwell has 1/3 less room than the drivers side (according to Dec 2003
Car & Driver).  Tall people need not apply I guess!  Not sure what it
looks like?   http://pics.virtuality.org/gallery/elise

Heh, to think that its still uncertain if the car is even going to make
it here.
