Scottish Elises

Edinburgh I mean
a 20mph weapon

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.

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.

Why is this even a question?

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.

Even if you don’t like it you still have to send a thank you note.

no worries. I consider it a complement, being the weak-willed, decadent, pampered S2 owner that I am.

Jsut to as yet another glowing report. New clutch from Craig, fixing intermittent clutch slipping problem. (Incidental new handbrake cable too). Car drives great now - big improvement - and best of all, a bunch of rattles that were there are now not. @C7`steve canal to Arthurs seat is a decent run f...

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. (I always get confused with engaged/disengaged and clutches). Of course the only way to fix that is to get it all to bi...

Depending on time/energy, once you are back at Edinburgh instead of doing A1/M1 you could take the A701 from there over to Moffat (pretty fun once past the quite straight early stages) and then go south along the M74M6, cut back over to M1 on the a66 (via barnard castle) or a65 into Yorkshire dales?...

Thanks Campbell. Yes - I have a decent maintenance budget. Or did have. Now I have a lot of maintenance instead. :D As you say, only an issue if you aren’t prepared for and expecting it. At the end of it all, at least the car ends up in better condition than it was, hopefully noticeable in the drivi...
