its sat in the garage now. been out for a 20 mile stint, nothing quick as too many shopping carts "enjoying the scenery" enjoyed a few roundabouts though, just on and off throttle playing with the balance a little. Going to take me quite a while to work to the limit i think miles and miles more poise and feedback than the subaru or honda, but then i expected that. Couple of questions Why the HELL do people insist on putting stereos in? anyone want a sony MD head unit ? Also if i remove the head unit is their a blanking kit available? What range should the idle temps be? mine hovered around 78-82 on the run and rose to 91-92 when sat in traff…

Went to Nick Wales' on Saturday to try there Exige. Also to Donny today (but that just confused me, just to many choices) What color is my problem. In the standard range it's got to be the Orange. but, I saw a photo some time age of a T49 type scheme, instead of the red-gold band-white, it was blue-silver band-white. Done a search for elise photos ad the only alternative I've found is gren-silver-white on an Elan. Anyone know of any pictures with the blue? Or anyone any good with photoshop, that could generate an image? 'm looking for a dark metailc blue, silver band and old english white. Silver wheels. Thanks in advance Simon

Oops, I did it again... ...rip another pair of trousers getting into the Elise, that is. Unfortunately, I was at work at the time, but luckily I was close enough to home to go and get changed. On the upside, its a lovely day outside. Cleaned the car, and went for a little drive Hurts to me to think I'm selling it....

I've just been going through some old camera pictures & movies and found a short movie of the above car at Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire 2003 and some pix from the show. I remember talking to the owner for quite some time but can't remember his name. I just wonder if he is a visitor to this forum and thought he might like a copy of the short movie I took as he left. Please right click and save target as, it is 1.3mb http://www.thelingeriestore.co.uk/elise/mov04072.mpg Derek

Just got back in my prized possession after 3 months of not driving because of a broken ankle and what happens I get caught speeding. Whilst changing lanes because I was lost in Nuneaton I get flashed by one of those cheeky little cameras. So I’m expecting the usual £60 fine and 3 points. It’s the first time I’ve been caught in 11 years driving. What I wanted to know was have any of you guys seen your premiums go up when you have got a 3 point endorsement. I am currently paying about £600 and am worried that for the next four years this will add to my insurance costs.

I've just bought a new laptop to replace my bulky desktop. The laptop already has a wireless LAN card built in but I've got no idea what I need to buy to make a wireless broadband connection. I'm wih BT ADSL. I hate all the cables running everywhere. It would be great to browse the net whilst sitting in the garden. Do I just need a wireless ADSL modem/router or do I need something else?

Hello again chaps. While my car was being sorted with its ick radiator, Peter Smiths leant me their demo 111R. Couple of things to note were 1) The brake peddle was right at the top of its stroke, heal and toeing was easy, and the brake peddle was hard unlike every other ABS car i've driven. Apparently all the had done is bleed the brakes at first service. Much better... 2) The touring pack seats had about twice the amount of cushioning that my Exige touring seats have - Anyone else noticed this on new cars coming through? Show me your Exige/111R touring seats! and finally their 111R was run in, 1500 miles. It absolutely flew! So much more responsive t…

Just washed my car ready for the sunny weekend that's been promised and a warning light has come on. Now before you all shout at me to look in the log book i've left it at work while i was sorting out the insurance. The light that has come on is the one directly beneath the seatbelt one and it looks like an exhaust with steam coming of it.The car is also running like a bag of shite. Will it be ok to take it for a blast to clear the water or is it something more serious? Thx in advance Nick.

At our Royal British Legion meet this Monday, we were disgusted to discover that Tony has postponed the 60th Anniversary VE Day commemorations until July, because he wants to hold his election in May. He's also pulling forward August's 60th VJ Day, and holding it on the 'July VE Day' that he's invented, so we only need one event!!!! For us, that takes the biscuit, is that poor excuse of a man, out to destroy our country's pride? First he bans our traditions, then he 'moves' both VE and VJ Day! What a c**t!! apologies to the mods for our use of strong language, but we can't think of any other words to describe what we think of him! Elaine & Reg.
