Re: My Emira has landed :-)

Did you go V6 or I4 ?

Looks nice, probably the same colour combo I was going for before I cancelled my order

Think its a good idea, this forum was such a good source of Elise knowledge (and antics of the S.E massive).

Re: Anyone bought a new car recently?

Geeky Alpine fact 1: The A110 has the washed nozzles built into the windscreen wiper so that it reduces the windscreen washer bottle from 3.5kg to 1.5kg - true Lotus saving ethos Geeky Alpine fact 2: As DJ has got an Atelier colour, Alpine limit this exact colour to only 110 Alpine's so once they h...

Re: Anyone bought a new car recently?

Ross, Looking great, especially being a 160. Always remember the 160 fondly after a choice between the 111S and 160 at MMC back in 2003. Remember new garage pic are also welcome too :) Better late than never :damnfunny https://i.ibb.co/z2z1R4m/Screenshot-20240819-100607.png https://i.ibb.co/4ptJc0t...

Re: Anyone bought a new car recently?

Jim,

Looks absolutely fantastic, its mouth watering how much people spend on carbon when speccing a mclaren/ferrari etc.

Is that the same variant of McLaren that Harry Metcalfe has just recently purchased?

Re: Winter tyres. Discuss.

Not a fan of the MINI recommended narrow rims and 185 Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D. I think they are narrow to allow snow chains (which I’d never use). Maybe good in deep snow but quite a compromise the rest of the winter I suspect - can't imagine they look great either! Those Dunlop’s are pretty old ...
