+2 Downunder
Posted: Mon Dec 03, 2007 4:41 am
G?day all,
Without stating the obvious reasons I find myself needing to turn my 2 seater into a 3 seater. With apologies to any Elite/Excel enthusiasts .. it would seem the +2 is my only option. And a good option it is, just a pity there isn?t a convertible version. The ability to carry the extra "passenger" in the back means we won?t have to use the slugmobile (BMW 318is) every time we feel like going out for the day. The +2 also gives me the option of getting back into track day competitions as I am currently unable due to the local regulations as they apply to my current Lotus.
I know something about the marque however my specific knowledge of the +2 variant is somewhat limited. It would appear I have found the right forum and a good place to start, however joining a new forum with 432,000 unread posts is a little daunting. I would be most appreciative of any and all info or post links you guys can supply about the specific differences and item/variations I should be looking at when inspecting a prospective +2.
Located in Australia the ?gene pool? is somewhat limited, I have noticed a couple of other Aussies posting so any info they can give regarding good local contacts, cars currently available or known cars to avoid would be appreciated.
This is the start of a new project and learning curve; I am sure there will be lots more stupid questions before I am finished. I hope to be able to post some pics of a new acquisition sometime in the new year.
Cheers
