Made it to Pistonheads https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=1986541 3LRJSGcLIx0 Aye, I'll be getting asked to open Supermarkets and Scout Halls next, as opposed to getting asked to keep the bloody noise down! :blackeye It was a good day actually.

Re: New(ish) car .. not really Lotus Content and a long wait..

It was a really good meet and a great eclectic mix of cars.
Access road was probably more suited to bikes than cars tho :)

Spotted doing a drive by in the Ferry yesterday, I was the one waving like a loon 😂

What an incredible machine!
I was either heading over to the car meet at The Rhynd or returning :blackeye

Silver S1 Exige. Dollar

A blast of nostalgia seeing one on the road in the wilds.
Was smiling so much I almost forgot to flash the lights of my wee MX5 and wave.
Looked ace!!

Re: New lightweight - but four seater

That looks ace! I used to ogle these types of car at the Glamis Castle Transport Extravaganza each year and always had the thought that they would be great to have for the right occasion. My lack of imagination meant that I couldn't really see beyond going to things like the Extravaganza in one tho....

Re: A Year with a Classic Alfa - NLC

It's a really nice spot Jim - the viewpoint is like a mini-Cairn o Mount 8) Well, I jumped in the car this evening and took a run up there. I guess the secret is knowing when the sun might make a good appearance :) I'll not post a pic of the murky gloom at the top. Not really Insta material :damnfu...

Re: A Year with a Classic Alfa - NLC

Looks great and the sunset pic is indeed spectacular.

LHD has caught me out a couple of times at left hand junctions when I forget that I can't see a thing over my right shoulder but I'm getting better. I do need to work on the wiper / indicator thing tho :D

A wee blast over Cairn o' Mount. No escape from photographers at the top tho.

Re: Crypto Currency Trading

Ach, I gave it a go for a week. Up £100k one day, down £100k the next day.... didn't seem worthwhile really. Premium Bonds are far less volatile

Blockchain. Hmmmm... I used to go there to rent Betamax Videos.

Re: £100k Emira

I saw that. Bit optimistic I would have thought.
Maybe if it was yellow ;)
