I was out with my cousin-in-law last night, showing him around Downtown Vancouver. While looking for a pub we came across an Elise parked on Robson Street. I have to say that this is one of THE most beautiful cars I've ever laid eyes on, and I really, really want to drive one.

Damn, nice. Usually there is porsches, lambos and ferraris down at robson but it is rare to see a Elise. Great find.

First time I saw one, I was amazed by how low it really is. Photos always make them look kinda tall. I think its because of how the tail looks.

I saw (and heard) one the other day downtown in TO. I must say the sound coming from that thing was spectacular.

I saw it again today. Parked on Robson street across from where it was last night. I also saw a Bently Flying Spur. The New one. Already. I didn't think that I'd see one so soon, but here it is:

I was on Robson street earlier today, although I didn't see anything too cool other than a couple of RUFs and a '69 Challenger. Still haven't seen an Elise on the streets!

You should have put the camera on the ground and selected a long exposure like one or two seconds, without flash of course, and the pics quality would have been much better. :)

Wow Ive seen several Elises on the streets in Vancouver. Almost everytime I go downtown I see one. (which is like 1-2 times every month) Ive seen that Yellow Elise parked on Robson twice!

I think that that would have been really hard to do. Robson on a Fri/Sat night is super busy, and no one gives a crap if you are taking car pictures. But I do understand your advice, and I'll try it next time. Besides, I just got my wee camera, and I am babying it.:D
Thanks!!:)

I know that some of you in the US and abroad see them lots, but for us here in Vancouver, they are still rare. For now...
