Scottish Elises

Hi George I've been mulling over selling my 59 plate SC, so you're post was a bit of a prompt. Since the other half had a baby in April, the car has barely moved - which is more painful than selling it for something a bit more useable until such time that the wee fella can go in an Elise! I was goin...

Hi Iain, that was me in the silver S2 - off to do an Ayrshire loop. The Stewarton road is a particular favourite and great for these cars!

Well done on the roof off, I was feeling a touch soft this morning, otherwise I'd have joined you.

Cheers
Mark

Yes, spoken to Craig...he's the one leading me into temptation!

Thanks again
Mark

Thanks Peter. The only one I've heard/been in was an Exige S with the Stage 3 at MMC and it did sound great, particularly the pops on the over-run....how addictive is that?! My only concern is that it's just a little too loud, as it's more than just a weekend car and does need to do the odd motorway...

Peter

If you don't mind me asking, what exhaust do you have instead and how does it compare?

Thanks
Mark

Thanks to everyone for the comments. (Campbell - didn't take it any way other than as good advice) My last Elise had the Bridgestones on it and I got well over 10k out of the rears on that, so was really just querying whether the tread markers were the limit on the Yokos. I'd actually already booked...

Damn. Not the answer I was looking for!

Thanks Mike.

Thanks for the replies. The tyres have done 7k miles, although I've only done 2.5k of those so difficult to tell how heavy I am on them. The trip is with the other half, so I can't imagine there will be much opportunity for enthusiastic driving. My question was probably more along the lines of wheth...

Apologies if this is a common question, but I couldn't find the answer after a trawl through the archives. I've got a 2,000 mile trip to France next month, and my rear AD07's are about a 1-2 mm above the wear markers. What's the general consensus on how much tyre wear I've got left before they're il...

Thanks Scott, I think I'd like to get used to the car a bit more before I venture up to Knockhill. I'm considering a Carlimits day, as they seem to come highly recommended but that'll have to be later in the year. Your street usually has some interesting metal on it - Tuscan, M6...it's always worth ...

Not far away at all. I used to see a nice S1 on Grantley Gardens, but don't recall seeing it for a while. Yours before the S2? In terms of how the SC compares, it's quite different. I've only done a couple of thousand miles so still getting used to it, but the immediate impression is that it's a lot...

I think that'll be me - I got the car in March. There's another S2 round the corner from me, but I think that's another SE'er. Where are you in Shawlands?

Nice idea.

I was making the most of the wife being away for the weekend so did a loop up to Crianlarich, across to Callendar for a chippy then home over the Duke's Pass. Wasn't held up much at all, which was brilliant.

Hi

Lovely night for it and looked like you'd found a nice spot to stop.

Cheers
Mark

After what seemed like an eternity, I finally picked up my new car last Thursday. (Apologies for the lack of photos...I didn't get a chance at the weekend and the weather hasn't really been favourable this week! I'll hopefully remedy this at the weekend) I drove a few cars both up here and also down...
