Re: Cat D car

I bought a 53 plate cat D 111s which had front clam damage and the the good thing there is no stone chips on the front of the car. I had the car looked over when I bought it, and apart from the usual wear and tear consumables the mechanic couldn't see or tell that the car had been damaged in the pas...

Re: triggered lightning - Tut?

I'm working on a semi sub one hour and fifty minutes in a chopper from Aberdeen, and I would say at least half of our flights have been cancelled lately due to trigger lightening. This with the flights not being allowed to fly, with the significant sea state being above 6 meters is making it a night...

Re: interesting pug 309

I've owned quite a few 309's in the past including a goodwood edition and I have to say bar the engine, the car is hideous.

S2 wheels wanted

I'm looking for 4 after market wheels to allow me to use track focused tyres on the 111s Elise, due to the odd sized front standard wheels.

Anything considered with or without tyres.

Re: New 111s owner

Murrays is to far with the little time I have at the moment... I was hoping to keep it local for now and I'll probably use them further down the line. There's a rattle coming from the engine at the drivers side which I'm wanting investigated before I drive it any further. I've only picked the car up...

New 111s owner

I've just picked up my new to me 53 plate 111s and I've already identified a few problems which needs seeing to.

New to the car, is there any elise specialists within the Aberdeenshire area who could give my car a good once over to make me aware of anything else that might need addressed.

S2 111s wanted

Been thinking about a S2 111s for a while but I'm after one now with my Toniq R now being sold and heading for Inverness.

I've had a go in Istoo's car and loved it.

My budget is around 12.5k but could be raised for the right car

Re: Possible new Aberdeenshire owner

Istoo

The car you've got is exactly what I'm looking for and I would love a nosey around your car and I was thinking about giving T6 KFR a shout just to get a look round as many variants as possible, before making a choice.

I'm away offshore on the 27th for three weeks so whenever works for you?

I'm thinking around the 10-12k mark but could push a little further but it's only a car I would be using a few times a month and possibly the odd track day at Knockhill.

Re: Possible new Aberdeenshire owner

Thanks for the warm welcome Tut I've spoken to you a few times at the fennel and various other places but you'll probably not recognise me from here. I was hoping to get a look round as much different various types as possible to make a proper educated decision, so if there's anybody around the Inve...

Possible new Aberdeenshire owner

Hi there I'm just around here with the possibility of looking into buying an S2 Elise.I'm just doing my homework at the moment with the chance of getting some valuable advice from here. My current toy is a Toniq R900 bike engined kit car, which is currently up for sale to make room for something else.
