Our friends at Horizon are now a main dealer for Toyo tyres, so a good source for us MLOC members looking for new rubber. Cheap prices too, eg. 195/50 VR15 for £27.66 plus VAT. Next day delivery too. Another string to their bow.

Its something I never thought about at the time, but I vacuumed my interior last weekend and cleaned those ridged footplates and it looked like new...I was well chuffed. Well, what with the warm weather I left the hood off most of the time...only I forgot that I'd parked under a tree the other day... Come back and the tree had shed almost all of its contents into the car I suppose I'm lucky a bird didn't come along and sh*t in it, but still, it looks a right mess...and theres probably a ton under the seats too! Also, I've just ripped my SECOND pair of good jeans on the door pin Is it just me who had this? Although it wasn't as bad as the first time I did…

So anyone here know anything about the golf owners club. Saw lots of golfs in the Donnington Services yesterday. Loads of youths standing around with engine bays open kicking tyres. Strange that most of them were TDI models Why meet up in a services to discuss the merits of a TDI golf and why oh why have your bonet open? You could smell the jelousy as we drove past in the Audi Diesel

In a month we're going for a extended hoon around God's country. I don't want to miss any of the good Highland roads so in 2 weeks we'll be covering upward of 3000 miles at least including the drive there and back. Now what should I take to ensure we don't get stranded or that we can cope with minor issues? So far list includes: Petrol can Errrrr, that's it. Obviously won't be fitting the trolley jack in as I'd like to be able to get our luggage and the roof in the boot at all times. Anyone got any other suggestions? Fiona

Took my car them last week (VW Corrado - the Lotus went last summer). Before it went, it was handling like a bag of spanners, felt like it was going to capsize on every roundabout, now is completely transformed. Diagnosed a gearbox problem, check balance front wheels. Even had a loan car for the day (Rover 420 Diesel - now there's a good definition of 'lethargic'). Then, probably the smallest garage bill I've ever had! Thoroughly recommended. Really seem to know their stuff. I know they've already had loads of positve press here, but it's so rare to find places like that I think it's worth adding to it. Rich.

A few problems appeared during my First Lotus day yesterday. Probally caused by me, and my 'over enthusiastic driving...' Any clues would be appreciated; (the car is an S1 111s Easy one - Boot catch un threaded itself... The catch on the boot is still attached to the boot clip, as if closed, but the fibreglass lid is free to flop up. The metal plate that it screws into is rattling around inside the lid and difficult to align to screw back in the threaded catch... Omminous one - lumpy noise and misfires.... Whilst idling after a circuit the engine made a lumpy noise, a warning light came on then seemed to idle as before but the light stayed on so Andy sugg…

I'm amazed none of you have posted pics / stories about your Le Mans trips yet! How did you all get on then? Always wanted to go, maybe next year eh? Or am I being blind and missed the thread? Steve.

Just wanted to sing the praises of the bodyshop Horizon use. They're called Hallcraft and are on the same esate. Speak to Nick Hall. They fixed my bent front end last week and i have to say the job is superb! The finish is easily as good as the original, infact probably better. Whilst i was there i was chatting to Nick and he told me their secret. Apparently one of the guys in the bodyshop is an ex Reliant Body man. Basically he's a fiberglass specialist. Most impressive also was their hourly rate, just £24 +vat, which for work of this standard is a bargain.

Hi everyone, Listening to you lot I feel like my 111s is either an electric granny motor or the archetypal poor relation. It seems as if everyone knows the best upgrades or already have them fitted in nicely. Mine doesn't have any, except a nice CD Player and a few paint blob additons courtesy of 'Chips Away'. I must admit I'm a bit of a muppet when it comes to the technical side of things, but what upgrades would you recommend - in other words, which are the most important for increase in performance and how much would they cost down at Horizon? It's a series 2. Let the flood gates open and drown me. Paulus
