Scottish Elises

I was thinking of doing a spanners & sponges / BBQ in the summer (should really let Mrs S know of this plan), happy to fit around other gatherings.

Kenneth brown in Hillington is always my suggestion for Glasgow based owners

Highly recommend Kenny. You will likley need to give him a few weeks notice to book in as he is very much in demand.

I would also recommend Kenny Brown's. He did a great job rebuilding my engine to rude health a few years ago. He did mine in 2018 (IIRC) and it's been great ever since. I am sure if you did have any issues after the work, he would sort you out.

Enough styling cues without aping it too much. Reading between the lines; it no longer has stepped wheel sizes, but has bespoke tyres - t...

Another interesting vid... and look out for some SE'rs appearing.

Many thanks for the suggestions; I went with Dominic’s first option which was absolutely brilliant, had a great evening for it and once I was past the Queensferry crossing the roads were pretty empty until I got to Callander. Hopefully I’ll get to do it again soon and also try the other routes sugg...

Or slightly shorter alternative; Edin - Powmill - Crieff - Aberfeldy - Killin - Lochearnhead - Comrie - Braco - Powmill - Edinburgh https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/Edinburgh/Powmill/Crieff/Aberfeldy/Killin/Comrie,+Crieff/Braco,+Dunblane/Westerton,+Crieff/Powmill/Edinburgh/@56.2863947,-4.3320268,9z...

I'd go for this: Edin - Powmill - Crieff - Aberfeldy - Killin (Capercallie for grub) - Lochearnhead - Dukes Pass - Aberfoyle - Port of Menteith - Arnprior - Fintry - Stirling - Edinburgh: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/Edinburgh/Powmill/Crieff/Aberfeldy/Killin/Callander/Aberfoyle,+Stirling/Arnpri...
