Scottish Elises

Still got my M2. 65k miles but finally getting fed up of the appalling ride. Harry Fairbairn in Dumfries are okay because they still have the old staff from before they took over. Not the same family business feel though. Don’t know what to replace it with. Looked at everything from new M4 to Panam...

Agree, lovely colour. [emoji41]

Cracking project and a lot of time and energy devoted to it. Enjoyed following the progress. [emoji106]

The cup 2 fronts are hilarious for the first 2 laps. Even on the road you’ve got to watch as they don’t work for a while after starting off.

The endurance spec ferodo DS1.11’s were excellent and lasted ages too but I never liked the 2500’s (the standard ones Lotus use).

Shell petrol station just up the road from Oulton and one nearby in Louth for Caldwell too if you’re stuck.

I was using DS 1.11’s from the start and they were excellent, last a long time but far better than ds2500’s and no major dust issues. Cheaper than PF’s and CL’s. [emoji41] I put the 2 piece front discs on after the standard ones wore out but was happy with the standard rears. Didn’t really think the...

Yer an erse John, but you know that :thumbsup IMO, we've got a more fundamental issue. What Ali says is bob-on for starters. When we were doing road runs regularly, it was a different time - and remember, most people aren't running about in circa 120-150bhp Elises any more - which you could leather...

Took the Hull - Zeebrugge ferry down to Reims for the old F1 circuit and some champagne (overnight stay) then Mulhouse for the Schlumpf car collection (overnight stay) then through Switzerland to Stelvio Pass round lake Garda and down to Monaca over to Millau "Bridge in the Sky" and back up through...

Did you manage to spot the white dots for the turn in and apex at Oulton?

I think you needed a mini mpv like the fiesta to see them. [emoji23]
