Re: It’s time...

Sure I saw that on Scottish Motor Services website.
But not showing now and I was in their garage in last few weeks and no Exige in stock.

Picture is their standard location (Glasgow) they use for all shots.

Re: Silverstone Classic 2021 - 30 Jul to 1 Aug

I did seriously consider going this year again.
After my first time enjoyable visit 2019, meeting up with Campbell for a few hours Saturday (planned ) and also Ali (unplanned but bumped into him in a bar :lol: )

Only made a final decision 2 weeks ago not to go this year.

Enjoy

Re: Anyone bought a new car recently?

Sad to hear your Elise is gone.
But sure your remote buy will be fine, car looks good.

Interested in hearing how practical you find it and how much you use it.

Re: Spec

Definitely needs black rear panel And not discussed but black petrol filler surround is good. Not the rest. Both my Elises came with hardtops I do feel they give the Elise quite a different look (when in body colour) and it’s a good look. But I used neither apart from the day I bought the cars. So d...

Re: Anyone bought a new car recently?

Agreed unlucky yes but some of the circumstances around timings/COVID restrictions/distance buy became a factor. I do feel a bit pissed off my diligence hasn’t worked out Yes 1st one mapped. Bought via non VW dealer but still a big franchise, ironically dealer had been to a VW garage pre-purchase ac...

Wanted Mini or something ? Sorted now

Looking for a car to buy for short term use. Wife fancies a Mini Countryman or Clubman, would consider a normal Mini at a push. Diesel or petrol considered. So it’s daily use focused rather than fun/honing about. Max spend around £8000 but if a car is reasonable and half that price I’d be happy. Any...

Re: Who sold their yellow S1 recently?

Will need to watch it.
Even if not for Elise air time, interested in Fiesta Supersport.

First car I bought and owned.

Re: New Lotus confirmed

Look forward to hearing more.

‘Type 131 will succeed them all in one form or another’

Original Pistonheads brief seemed to state one model, later posts more vague.

End of current Elise/Exige/Evora names, next generation start, one new name with variety of specs/styles to cover all ?

Re: Jay Emm 211

Just viewed it, thought it would be released soon since he posted about releasing a set of ‘lightweight’ Porsche reviews before Christmas. I was with Jayemm when he filmed it and did the drive by shots. Nice guy, did lunch out with James and Dom after the filming was done. Looking at mileage I’ve on...

Re: Happy 50th Campbell

Happy Birthday, enjoy the day :thumbsup

Good news is today only partially counts as the big 50.
So you should get to play it out in many treats and events when we have freeeeedom.

PS I’m only referring to a post COVID-19 lockdown world nothing else political or nation based
