Scottish Elises

Basically cheating in the game of computing average speed in your head as you go... Ok, stuck behind that overtaking truck at 50mph for 60 seconds means we can have 20 seconds at 110... :lol: I need all the help I can get :-). I like to compute mins/km paces while running, but then I have many minu...

I spotted that the Tesla (no, I am not a Nazi) does all that average speed camera point to point tracking - so you can optimise each leg by hitting the target speed exactly (+ a few % if you're that way inclined). Old hat of course, but it's the first time I've ever had that in a car :-). Of course ...

Surely aKademiK now.

I have already managed to create two Discord accounts :-). It turned out I had one from before when the kidz got me to set it up as part of some experiment during COVID. My 2p. Use WA for the banter and current (track day/car news) affairs section of the community. Leave technical here on phpbb. Upd...

I too have used mostly Pagid 42 over the years; I tried various other flavours but the 42 were always the best compromise for the Elise. Of course I don't wash cars, so I have no idea about how much brake dust they create. I definitely used the Mintex 1144 at some point and I think they were also OK...

Hi Of course WA is owned by Meta, the same as Facebook so the conscientious objectors won't want to use it anymore than FB. That aside, FB is probably more advertisement laden than a WA community? But I would definitely use a WA Community no less than I use SE phpbb so would be fine with it. I suspe...

It definitely has the feel of how to do something whilst spending not very much money

The right thing to do with the major roads is to make them into dual carriageways wherever possible, but that costs £millions and the budgets aren't there.

It's inevitable that they will install some form of speed monitoring on all the roads that get used regularly by HGVs. If you look at the data in the appendix of the linked report on the A9 pre-2014 the speeding rates were 40% (split evenly in the 60-70 and 70-80 buckets). Since the introduction of ...

P.S. If your signature is accurate a 2004 Bentley Continental GT is not likely to meet anyone's definition of cost effective motoring, no matter how little you paid for it

Of course there is a price difference - but there's nothing fundamentally different about an EV that means you couldn't use it for carrying stinky dogs (we used ours for that before we had to put the woofster to sleep). If it's just about the money, there are always going to be cheaper ICE options a...

Could have written off 2 S1s in one accident . That's probably 1% of the remaining working cars!

We are a two tesla family these days (plus an Elise which hasn't turned a wheel in more than a year :-)). We live in Edinburgh and drive to Cornwall & Tiree at least once a year as well as the more normal up-down the A1/M1/M6 type journeys. Never had a problem charging the car/worried about not bein...

Planning a dawn 10 mile loop. So scores zero out of two on your fun run chart 🤣. Weather closing in later in the morning. Needs to be 10 miles because when they cancelled the Great South Run the chat is that if you submit a 10 mile run via Garmin/Strava/whatever they will send you the T-shirt ... so...

Are you there on Sunday? I might well be running past ...

(BTW, there are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand binary and those that don't.)

Neil '4 mil' McApe and I spent a few days driving round the hills there - good fun, unless it rains!
