Scottish Elises

No worries.

I see there's a Bav 31 there he can look over, maybe on the tight side though

Boat show is on at Kip marina this weekend. He should get down there and have a look - deals to be had I'm sure

Thanks for this

I bought one yesterday. I have an Optimate but the Reynard- Lotus runs on a "total loss" system so I often need to charge the onboard battery and the slave at the same time.

Now if only they sold driving lessons..............

It saddens me that the entire debate appears to revolve purely around finances. What should it be about? Chris If I recall my O-grade history correctly, "finanace" was , to a large degree, why we united in the first place, having sunk over half the country's entire capital in a swamp in Central Ame...

On a complete and utter whim, I bought one of these a couple of weeks ago



Not that quick , but a neat wee Jap. 70s classic

All IMHO of course

.....and I had the more humble Avenger (1.5GLS). It suffered various mishaps including the time I put it into a field on the Northern Lights Road Rally back in the mid 70s. My navigator was a nice chap, but sometimes forgot which way we were going relative to the map - calling out the road to me:- "...

Can I have another go - two less exotic models than the 037, but oh how I wanted one

Lancia 037

Bright orange, a bit bent and of suspect origin...............and the 911 is a bit iffy too!



PS Rock on Gary

Fair to say you've got the bug Martin? I am hankering after a PloProf .. Badly! Need to find a decent pre loved one as cost new is just silly! Baby or full sized? If the latter, I might be able to assist. A collector chum has an original vintage one (70s?) on mesh that he offered to me a while back.

Your second timed run ( which had the car pointing every which way but straight) raised a round of applause from the crowd

Good car control and highly entertaining.

Don't do it at Knockers this w/e , though!

The M5 was a v10. Nothing went seriously wrong with it ( though I had my doubts about the clutch and rear diff) but that may be because only kept it for about 3 months. I just didn't like it. I have to agree with J Clarkson's summary below (in 2 parts). In town the gearbox is jerky no matter which o...

I think that the 996 Turbo is good value just now. The X50 has all the real world road performance needed for 99% of the time and the engine does not have many of the problems inherent in the wet (ish) sump normally aspirated models. I had the 996TT v 997s debate with myself .......and then bought a...

I'll be out too.

"Pipe and slippers" class (A7) in the old mean green money-munching machine(911)

As the engine transplant is still work in progress , it's likely Fintray will be first event.

Good luck to those at Doune
