Hi, New to the forum, despite having been a Club member for a number of years in the early 1990's. I've had a variety of Mk2's, 3's and 4's, a Corrado, and the odd A3 over the years, but the past few years have been devoted to Elises - 3 so far. I'm needing to get a car for running around in the winter - don't want to put too many winter miles on my little plastic car, so was thinking about going back to a Mk3 8valve. Indeed I'm going to look at a yellow colour concept over the weekend. While it's got low miles, I appreciate these cars are 10 years old now, so what should I be looking for? Where are the weak points etc? Not too bothered about the colour,as my elise is nuclear orange, so this will be the sensible car. All advice welcome. Thanks, Derek
