Agree that Yellow is the 8) colour, but I have gone for Black wheels so at least if we end up in the same carpark we shouldn't get too confused :lol: What exhaust is on yours?

Its got a standard exhaust, the only extra I have coming for it is a new hard top. I would like to get a set of forged wheels in black, but my financial advisor (the wife) may put a stop to that, for the moment anyway!

Hi Stu
Welcome along just up the road from you, halfway up the walk in a Silver S1

I'm down at the foot, Elise is hidden away in a garage tho! I'll keep an eye out for you when I'm back, although I found out this week that I'm going to be in Norway for a while yet :( Think Im going to have to look into the ferry routes to Norway to get the car over, should be fun tho, summer weather in Norway was fantastic last year, almost 24 hr sunlight and not too much rain, also lots of quite twisty fjord roads :wink:

Hei hei

Hvordan gaar det?

I am on your side of town too, but then there are loads of folk in Edinburgh here it seems.

I hope the roads have improved since the late 90's, when I used to work out there. Studded winter tyres are amazing in the winter, but leave the roads in a state after Easter - I expect all those rutted roads will be great for tramlining or aquaplaning, if you're on the west coast like I used to be.

:welcome

Heisann!

It is amazing how big a difference the right tires make in the snow, the UK comes to a stop with a covering of snow, I've been driving on permafrost for the past 4 months! Where were you? West coast would be Stavanger/ Bergen area? I'm in Trondheim in mid Norway, its a lot drier here than the west coast, roads are not too bad condition, especially compared to Edinburgh!!
