Re: Latest Tax Grab by SNP/Greens (Council tax)

I haven't seen anything on an annual levy but the Greens and SNP both want to to away with the 'unfair' Council Tax. If they do, it'll probably be replaced with the 'unfair' AN Other Tax.

Be interesting if the slave could be the culprit - what sometimes happens when an engine is mated to the gearbox using an adaptor plate (not sure how thick, perhaps 15-20mm typically), the slave cylinder runs out of stroke (as the g'box input spline and hence slave bearing are further from the clut...

Re: All roads lead to Lotus... or do they?

Who had the more enjoyable drive when you got to Oulton, though..? :wink: I guess an Exige has similar levels of involvement / character as the 211, but also has an acceptable usability window (not the same as an M6, of course).
