You're welcome to it. Only one more day before I return to
civilisation.

I'll keep the battery charged on the Elise if you like[1]. Then you
could have a little run around available when you pop back over to the
UK to replenish your sanity.

[1]no charge for the charging service

Good idea. I'll do the same for the 1150RT. It'll need a good run from
time to time.

You know, if you buy it off me you can charge it as much as you like :).

Aye, it is.

As mint as you could hope for in fact IMHO.

It was worth it just to see how you clambered in and out of it when we

Coo... wasn't expecting you to get that all sorted any time soon.

<looks at timescale>

You should be able to get the first one of the year in at Lydden
before you leave, if you'd like to say goodbye to the Elise in the
style to which you'd hope you and it would have become accustomed. ;-)

The whole process suddenly sped up quite noticeably. I guess the queue's
a little short atm.

I'll try - I guess I'll advertise it for sale from early March
onwards. I've already got some hints as to what sort of automotive care
packages would be welcome on the other side of the pond so things might
change.

Thanks! Currently plan is to land at SFO, probably spend a night at a
certain B&B before travelling on to Vegas. Sounds like a dinner
opportunity to me.
