http://www.pistonheads.com/ads/detail.asp?i=35674&s=19 I've been offered a cheap 2nd car anyway. So that discounts that problem.

If anyone's read Evo mag, apparently Caterham have been taken over by Ex-Lotus General Manager, Ansar Ali! Link Wonder what this means for Caterham? They have just finished all the development work on the new caterham so does this mean they've been taken over as someone see's their potential, or is it because they were in trouble? If the latter, was it because of the failed attempt to develope a completly new model? Will they develop a new model now? Noticed a for sale sign next to their Kirkby Mallory Showrooms (well the sign was near!), so wonder if this has some significance?

to check a car out for me. Seen another Elise for sale but it's in Halesowen.Does anyone live in or near this place who could cast a quick glance over this car for me just to let me know if it's worth the trip down. If anyone can spare the time to help it would be greatly appreciated (you name your drink ) Thanks in advance, Nick. I will pm the address to anyone who can help.

garrrrrrrgghhhhh, companies.. first your role is not needed, so they tell you to accept redundancy... then they offer you another totally different job to do. Then just as you get set to do the new job they tell you that they fucked up the project planning and NEED you to do the redundant role for 8 months.. which is great now I am in the wrong team and being forced to move f'in desk across the building away from the guys I need to work with.. but its progress.. I'll give em progress right... *breath* arrghhghhh I need a new job.. or a blast in the car

I'm having real trouble finding/hiring 1-2 suitable sales people. Are you, or do you know anyone suitable, who is looking for a move? I run the sales function for a specialist commercial interiors contractor (office fitting out, refurbishment, services, furniture & design). Looking for one, possibly two individuals, based South of B'ham, down as far as Gloucs in W or Beds/Oxon in E. Not even specifically looking for a glittering sales track record as long as the person has that "vital spark", is numerate, articulate and persuasive. Due to the specific nature of the skills, unless someone is doing exactly the same thing somewhere else, we would expect to…

bollocks ! ooops forgot the link dont click me ! these things are slowly slipping into my (no finance) price range. This one is very well priced and the miles are still low. I know its only a matter of time.... Has anyone got one one here apart from Beefcake? I use my elise as a daily driver and I soon accumulate the mileage (50 miles a day) What are the running costs like ? Insurance Tyres (do you have to run the semi-slicks - that'll be a pair a month then ) Fuel (230 miles to the tank a la 111s ? - i doubt it) Servicing and Consumables Mark - please say Insurance - double the price Tyres - you NEED to run A048 jobbies Fuel - 1…

Hello there. First of all, I am looking to buy a used S1 Elise. Second, I want to have any elise I buy inspected by a specialist before I buy. The car I am looking at is in Liverpool, does anyone know of any specialist dealers in Liverpool / merseyside that would do a full check for damage / work needing done / problems with the car etc? Or alternatively if there are any MLOC members in that area that know the cars that would like to help in exchange for beer tokens! I joined here as I posted the same question on SELOC but got no replies, thought this might be a bit more area specific. Thanks in advance all! JJ

Due to the powers that be at work I know have to drive a car that does >40mpg so as not to effect my allowance. Having been in a 03 WRX for the last year or so its bit of a blow anyway decided to buy a diesel shed for work,punto/clio and an elise for weekend Looking at about 10-13k for the elise. The first question I have is regarding models. Looking at the standard and the 111s. The price diff seems to be quite high to be honest. I realise the VVC engine is higher BHP but looking at the power graphs needs to be revved harder aswell so I guess 90% of the time you wont be using the extra 25hp that the 111s has over standard. Would i be better getti…

Whilst drive our Exige last week I noticed that the speedo needle didn't return to 0mph when I stopped, I read the hand book and on page 34 it tells you how to reset it (so I did)! All well & good or so I thought! Driving the car last night I noticed that somebody had been to the moon and back several times, as our odometre now reads 640770 Slightly annoyed-Whitwick

I've exhausted all of my technical knowledge so wonder if anyone here can help. I have the Wanadoo wireless kit. Seems to be a wireless router manufactured by Inventel, with an Inventel USB wireless 802.1g network card. This all works fine. I bought a Belkin PCMCIA 802.1g network card (2 laptops). All it seems to do is tries to aquire an IP address and does nothing. I've tried re-installing the device driver with no effect. I've assigned the card a static IP address, with correct subnet and default gateway. Although the card thinks it's connected, I cannot open a webpage or even simply use IE to get onto the router. Any ideas ?

Bloody hell, was followed from a set of lights most of the way to my parents last night by 2 HUGE guys in a BMW, who had to drive right up my ass.. lost em a few times, but traffic meant they caught up eventually.. but kept thinking of all the things you hear.. thankfully they just wanted a look and turned off eventually, not until after about 15 miles though The way people drive now, it makes it hard for you to not break the speed limits. Half the time I was just saying calm down its probebly nothing, they are just idiots. </rant> Chorlton
