Re: Newbie struggling to register

Hi - sorry, we simply don't check the newbie section much, so this slipped under the radar. Best to PM one of the mods if there's an issue as that pings us a notification. Ironside has checked the functionality and the security question is working properly - the car image one. Has he managed to get ...

Re: Opinions on this car

Welcome to SE - where you based, that might help people recommend local assistance. I can't really comment on pricing as I'm out the loop there - hopefully someone else can comment. It's led a life, but they mostly all have - the benefit there is that you know most of it. "Dan Up North" gets mixed r...

Re: S1 rear window fitting

If it's the old Shugmobile (hello Steve!) then it'll have the later sloped rear window to stop the weird headlight reflections in the mirror. Can't honestly remember how the seal fits on it, but if you've got the seal for bare glass, might be wrong.

Re: Lotus UK Makes Agency Model Retail Switch Ahead Of Emira Deliveries

Long story short: Traditional method - Dealer buys stock from manufacturer and then owns it as an asset, sells on that stock (often at discount to make the sale, meaning manufacturers have no concrete pricing control and we have the dealers occasionally cutting each others throats to sell cars) Agen...

1999 Honda VFR800Fi - *SOLD*

I know there's a few closet bike-ists on here, so thought I'd bang this up before extending to the misery that is eBay and the like - there is an FB ad, which I'll link to (you don't need an FB account) for ease so you can see pics. Normally, I'd hang on to it till spring, but I've got my eye on som...

Re: Anyone bought a new car recently?

Not really spoken about it on here, but earlier in the year, we finally got out of lotus ownership after me having at least use of an Elise or Evora since 2002! The Evora wasn't getting any younger and getting a newer one didn't fulfil Elaine's requirements for an upgrade, namely something that felt...

Elise - we Salute You

So, the time has finally come. The line is being drawn. Quite right too, I feel - anything you could develop today from scratch carrying the Elise name just wouldn't be the same. It wouldn't have the same stripped back DNA or the same real connection back to the 1996 original. So, instead of dilute,...

Re: iRacing - Knockhill on way

Hopefully the laser data being out there might mean stuff other than iRenting gets it as well... unless they are sending their own team, which would be an odd choice for such a US centric service.

Re: LOT: Anglesey, Oulton Park & Cadwell Triple Header | 25,27 & 28th October 2020

Welcome back!! In other news ... It’s unfortunate that Wee Nic’s Central Scotland-specific “advice” is not to leave your health board area. Effective til 25th Oct ... Swinney confirmed not to cancel booked events or staycations if they take you out of area, just "be careful". So that "advice" is pr...

Re: Type 131

First up should be the Elise replacement. I'm beginning to doubt there will be a direct one (as I said above) Hopefully I'm wrong, but I don't see how you engineer a world car with the dimensions of an Elise now and move it towards the more sophisticated luxury tastes of car buyers in the £50K+ bra...
