Re: Titanium S1 in Longniddry

On the final strech of a 600mile trip through the Yorkshire Dales after returning from overseas. Remembering why I kept the car in storage rather than selling it!

Re: Silver S1 on new Kincardine bridge

Hi there, was me on my way for a quick scoot round Gleneagles taking advantage of the evening sun!

The yellow looked great and brightened up the start of my run!

Re: 430 last saturday - Ed

Looked great

I shudder to think of the bottoming out and stone chip potential on the roads in the deepest borders. Its one thing hammering the 8k S1, quite another in a car 10 times the value!

Re: Geo Settings, real experience?

Yep - need an S1 owner with reasonable Loti experience near Falkirk! Bearing in mind its been set up with parallel toe - maybe an easy fix would be to put the recommended toe out in to the geo? Also shaping up to be a great evening so a good excuse for a road test up to Callender just to check one m...

It could even have toe out at the moment as i thought this was the factory set up for an S1?

Re: Silver S1 - Polmont

Was me on the final stretch to Falkirk

Had been out all day and was getting pretty chilly at that point and thinking of hot baths and central heating

Notice on the boards there are a few Loti in Polmont but never seem to spot any out and about

We were on our way for a massive hoof up north taking advantage of the sun!

Your car sounded great and shame the petrol station beckoned!
