Scottish Elises

Yea I seen that one Tony. If I go for a VX it has to be a turbo or SC. I need something with a bit of poke behind it.

I most certainly have. Planning to go and view it next week.

Mike - I seen that. Too much work required to make it road worthy and useable. It's also a cat C which makes it a non-starter.

Swings and roundabouts easty. I thought about that route with the m3 then concluded it was cheaper to buy an Elise (I also considered rosscos sc VX) Either choice would be good. Is the Z4M standards? I ran trackday tyres, good fluid and friction Z pads. The M3 would do hour long stints on those no ...

Unfortunately not. I got an email from the dealer last night saying that somebody viewed the car yesterday afternoon and placed a deposit on it. A bit disappointing really as I offered to place a deposit earlier in the week but that's just the way things go. Cash is king I guess. I'm not too upset b...

Thanks for the feedback guys, it's appreciated. I done some digging and found an old 'for sale' ad. Good news is that everything adds up and there has been a ridiculous amount of money spent on the car. Also got some much better pictures. The ones Jon has on his advert don't do the colour any justic...

I know, I know - it's a vauxhall. Let's just gloss over that for now. I am seriously considering changing my Z4M for this - http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/vauxhall/vx220/2003-vx220-turbo-very-high-spec-ultra-rare-petrol-blue/4389823 Does anybody know the car or its history? I have ...

One thing I will add; I think there should have been more emphasis and detail given about passing on the left only, and only on the 3 straights. I came across a few cars pulling over at the bottom of duffus and on the run up to chicane. The briefing probably didn't cover it in too much detail becaus...

but we were not racing. he passed me and cleared off. that was the end of it. there was plenty room and no oncoming cars when he passed. i never saw him again till we got to KH so cant comment on the rest of his driving. although he did spin my car at the hairpin and for that i'll say he's a knob! ...

you were a witness right enough as you were right behind us all the way! :roll: I stuck with you's until your mate in the Exige decided to go crazy and go for that mental overtake. I decided from then that it wasn't for me and I'd like to get to Knockhill in one piece, so I dropped back with your o...

Taking of interesting lines, who was driving the orange Exige CTA or similar at the end of the number plate :roll: Was that's the one that hadn't been fitted with mirrors? :lol: Or the one that went up the inside of me at the hairpin :? I met him at the shell petrol station before the track night. ...

I had mine on. Should have some with me following your Z4M.

Would love to see the videos if you upload them

Stu

You were going very well Stu. Like you say, I could match you on the straight, but as soon as we got to a corner you were gone. Great fun and great mix of cars out today.
