Hey folks
A few folks over on the VX220 forum suggested joining over here becuse there was a lot more scottish action.
Have not long bought my Type116 lotus NA in calypso red, so I'm still getting to know it's "character".
Hope to meet you folks for a blast out at some point.
Cheers
Bob

Bob,
I've had a very similar lego elise (Caly Red NA) for about 18 months. They are generally very friendly to we type 116 pariahs on here - but try not to mention head gaskets. Surprised Martin (Mr Donkey) hasn't mentioned it but a Kames test session is well worth considering.

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.
