2. Professional and Ethical Conduct Members must avoid any actions or behaviors that could potentially harm the reputation of the club or its operations.

As the title suggests , a newbie query. I have just bought an S2 Elise , 2007 with the Toyota 1ZZ power unit in ‘ touring spec’. That means electric windows, a radio and , err, not sure what else. Anyway, that is not the subject of the query. The car is blue with a cream interior. The latter I don’t plan to keep. In fact , already bought some equivalent second hand door cards in black and am looking hard at a pair of Corbeau LE seats . So, first part of my query centres on those Corbeau seats. Anyone on here have them or at least used them and have a view on them and the second is a vague idea of what, if anything, a pair of cream seats with matching door cards is actuall…

Did have one thought though, could make for quite an entertaining 2025 MLOC Callander! Please feel free to share your attempts.

Like drinking red wine, wearing slippers, getting gout etc, I always thought that one day I might end up in a Morgan! It started with my winning/buying a day in an Emira at LitP a couple of years ago, kindly donated for auction by Central Lotus for our Rainbows charity. The rest of that year came and went with no Emira in sight, then similarly last year with no-shows of the i4 which I was interested in, then this year when my non-availability pushed dates back and then Central ceased their new-Lotus agency. And finally their demo Emira was recently purchased by Ray!! But no worries, Andy/Connor were keen to get their Morgan cars out there and last Friday’s booki…

Just got my car back from Chris Foulds Motors in Honley just outside Huddersfield. I can't recommend them highly enough. The personal and mechanical care and attention lavished on a pretty standard job by Steve and Chris was top class.
