2025 whats your name and what've you got?

[D_Mike]

I am quite new, my name is Michael, I have a bmw with a damaged door and a 1998 s1 Elise with OEM rattles, aftermarket rattles, and other bits and a new windscreen. I live in East Lothian. Most recently I ended up replacing the whole exhaust system just to fit a wideband lambda probe so I could fit a catalytic converter and get through an MOT. In the photo below, a stone chip protector is missing because a puddle on the motorway washed it off.

I went to one of the ldc meetings in Falkirk once soon after I got a red s2, but I wasn’t sure about everyone there although some seemed normal.

I like this ‘truth circle’ format

What a marvellous range of machinery listed above. We're all lucky people.

I'm Tim with:

- 2023 Toyota Corolla - entirely dull hybrid spec but actually quite decent for dull journeys
- 2003 Elise 111S - still hanging on despite having me drive it since new
- 1930 Riley Nine - improbably still occasionally actually starting and getting places. <https://classiccars.brightwells.com/vie ... hp?id=6326>

I’d love an old car like that, amazing!

Don't let the "normal" ones on here put you off. They are few and far between

They seemed to have sent it to Pete for software testing. The brakes switching the radio off is novel but not ideal for a radio 4 fanatic.

All noted, test drive of the EX30 confirmed it was not an option - Polestar 2 added to the fleet
