Scottish Elises

Still having fun. More posing around on the local back roads at the moment rather than anything else. https://i.imgur.com/K0h98st.jpg https://i.imgur.com/V6iyPuk.jpg https://i.imgur.com/MKEkrp3.jpg https://i.imgur.com/fRpAEGs.jpg 8 lights at the front works quite well in the dark as well. https://i....

Looks fab.
I think yellow is a stand-out colour for an Elise.

It's a different sort of attention. I've no experience of Lambo's but if I'm out and about in the Ferrari almost everyone knows that the bright red, loud, noisy car is a Ferrari because it looks and sounds like folk expect a Ferrari to look and sound like and Ferrari's get attention because you don'...

Well, 3 drives out in it now and a whole 130 miles under my belt. In summary.... a bit underwhelmed really and will probably sell it in summer to some other mug. Only kidding!! :blackeye It certainly gets attention. There's a toggle switch for the pop/bang/flame map for the engine on the dash and it...

So, a fairly significant update for the end of the year. Very generously the good folk at LB Specialist Cars delivered my car just after Christmas so I could have it for the New Year. Avoiding the drizzle today I've only been able to take some phone camera pics but.... Wow!! I'm biased but it looks ...

..... one more sleep

Are you having a party? Headwetting?!?! No, but I probably will make the effort to go to a few meets in it next year. Some of the details in it are pretty cool and will probably be interesting to car-minded folk. The carbon airbox turned out well. https://i.imgur.com/qWvEzgl.jpg https://i.imgur.com...

Haha, yeah it looks like it.

Delivery should be Tuesday 28th Dec. Its been a bit of a slog but the finishing line is in sight.

(then it will probably sit in the garage under a cover till spring)

Oh, lots of updates. Everything still in hand but as I write the engine is just going back in after having some additional work done but all is good. It was at The Late Brake Show with Jonny Smith a couple of weeks ago and apparently went down well. https://i.imgur.com/GqF2tUg.jpg Simultaneously, on...
