I'm another on the not done Stelvio list. My original plan, when I did NC500 a couple of years back was to do something like that every couple of years, but this year obviously looks to be disappearing into doing nothing
So do we need a 2021 Stelvio Euro Tour thread started?

Re: Is sitting at home dreaming about trackdays all you do in your Lotus then?

So what is everyone planning post lockdown? When do you think the track days etc will start up again?

I would be happy with being able to drive it on the road for the fun of it.

No didn't know that.

Drove up to Aberdeen in the dark two weeks ago. Must say they are amazing on dual carriageway on full beam. Ultra crisp.

Re: Walkie Talkies

We have a set of Motorola XTNid PMR's with remote mics, they are completely indestructable, 4Km range in the mountains. Change the codes so you don't hear all the plebs if you're in a high usage area (skiing/boarding) . . . I had one of those and can confirm they are bogs bollocks. Had it stolen at...

Re: Walkie Talkies

We use the cheapest PMR from amazon, clipped onto the front of the shirt.

I have a lead to plug it into the Autocom system but you only need an earpiece in a car with no roof.

Re: Covid-19 Lockdown

We have mostly been playing the "what's in this box" game... As we have now so much time on our hands, we have been bringing boxes down from the attic and sorting through them. Good news is I have found some of my old LP's... So now I have to buy a record player.. No doubt the box with the old casse...
