Scottish Elises

I’m finding it depends more on the age of your vehicle.

And whether it’s a Lotus or not [emoji1787]

Just love the Anglesey vibe. Probably will arrange to join an alternative day there some time and get James along too.

On my Elise - “S3” from 2013 - the light clusters are a little different, but altering the height / alignment of the ...

No oil or coolant? Very well done, ma petite Elise!

Some trip, Julien !!

Toledo was also on our 2001 route, Julien. We were lucky enough to stay in the Parador overlooking the town. Stunning area.

Excited to see how you travel north now [emoji41]

How has the car been behaving?!
