Re: 2025 whats your name and what've you got?

S1 at Straiton

I think I saw a shadowy S1 shaped thing just coming off the A701 from eastbound lane at Straiton about 6:30 this evening... I was in an S1 and I cheekily nipped out ahead of you in recognition.

Nice roads East Lothian?

Can anyone suggest some decent roads in East Lothian please? Just looking for somewhere for a Sunday morning drive really. Not an all day epic, an hour or so would be fine.

Re: Body shop recommendations

J Mullen specialist coach works did a good job on a few massive chips on mine, and the guy there said he’d done plenty of Elises in the past. They had nice work on display on land rovers they were restoring there too. They’re in port seton.

Re: S2 slipping clutch

All fixed. Craig and team found the clutch release arm/fork was just very stuff/seized. Occasionally it was failing to return all the way after the clutch pedal had been depressed.
