Spa day for Xmas

Looking for a spa day for my two female cousins. Both are mothers in their 30s. One in Edinburgh, one in Glasgow.

Want to give as Xmas presents. Email okay for delivery. Any offers online?

No pictures!

Re: Learning heel'n'toe - suggestions?

H&T is a basic technique all self respecting sports car drivers should learn to master, on road and track. It may take some time to master but well worth learning. It will make you a faster (smoother) driver and also better for the clutch/gearbox/engine. :oops: I agree with you but I just can't get...

Re: scottish lotus specialists ?

Will MMC work on cars with engine conversions? I'd always assumed they wouldn't touch them.

They might not be close to Inverness, but they are a hell of a lot closer than Sinclaire...

Re: Hi Folks!

Lovely Evora. I was admiring it at MMC on Saturday. Then I think I may have seen you heading north on the Moffat road as I was heading south in a grey S2 Elise. You flashed and I waved back.

Re: Atom mapping - hunting for Corbie!

Andy, If you do find a better map, I'd be very interested. I have the same issue. The current mapping is buring fuel at a frightening rate. I discovered on my last trip in the atom that MasterCard block your credit card if you use it to buy petrol more than 6 times in a day. I fear it will be too la...

Re: Its a trip of madness - NLC - Atom content

Andy, If you have the time, how about a blast down to Lands End and back? That was my original plan when I picked mine up. I'll never forget Tom's advice on running it it - "Just drive it like you stole it for 500 miles."

Tut, Sanjoy, it is indeed Jamie's old car. With a new engine, suspension, brakes and exhaust.

It feels amazing on the road. Can't wait to get it on track.

Oh, and heated motorbike clothing is an absolute must. Driving up the A9 to Inverness in the cold and rain would have been torture otherwise.

Re: Its a trip of madness - NLC - Atom content

Sounds like an epic journey. I did something similar last month. Track day at Silverstone on Thursday 26th and funeral in Inverness on Saturday 28th so decided to join the dots by driving north in the atom, via Newcastle and Edinburgh. Sadly no trailer was available (and I didn't actually turn up at...

Re: SLS

I picked my car up from Ali's new place near Linlithgow on Saturday. There are lots of Lotus bits in his garage.

I have a new mobile number for him which I'd rather not post but am happy to share by personal message.

Best, PT

"Learner" car wanted

I am looking for a small runabout to teach 3 youngsters to drive this summer. Ideally cheap insurance (no more than a 1 litre engine) and under a grand. Based in Inverness but willing to travel to pick the car up. I was thinking micra or ford ka but open to anything really. Not expecting it to be mu...

Re: Hot Marques at Knockhill on Monday 29 August

I'm afraid that I said nothing. if it had been one or two idiots, I'd have had a word. It was the organisation from KH that didn't suit me rather than one or two rogues.
