Scottish Elises

RIP TUT, many fond memories at Knockhill in our Azure Blue Elises, mine slow and Autoglym’d, N1 TUT crazy-fast, sand blasted and duck taped.

And 10 months since I was last on a track, tut.

Time has flown by since 2001 when I got engrossed in a new role, and the kids came along.

Hope you are doing well!

Indeed that was my second Elise, and what a great car it was too, with much fun had. How can I help?

I was out walking through the woods with my kids this morning with their new puppy and somehow my thoughts turned to how Saturday mornings are so different now (although just as enjoyable), from when I had the time to participate in Knockhill SIDC days, meeting up with Lawrence and Brian and all of ...

Hi Kevin, Long time no see - look forward to seeing GT-R - fantastic piece of kit. Out of interest, how many miles did you rack up in the M12? Seems to work for people as an occasional drive or you had to do lots of mods for heavy usage. Went a different route - Exige has been superbly reliable for...

Where you heading up towards Dregorn in it this morning, about 7.45am? If so i was the red 430 infront :thumbsup Hi Andy, No such luck, GT-R didn't make it out today. I had a couple of free tickets for Knockhill that the Nissan dealer sent me, but decided not to go because of the weather. Kevin

Hi Robin,

>My 2nd elise and Kevin's first elise where about 10 apart IIRC

That would be my 2nd elise in Sep 98. Kelvin got his first about then too.

I remember when you had your first black S1, parked next to mine at Spider/Shiva. Seeing two together then was a rarity!

Cheers,
Kevin

Blast from the past here. :D Got my first Elise in Jan 1998 after a 12 month wait. Lawrence had one of the first- I remember him driving it at Doune in Sep 1997. The first I saw on the road was owned by the guy that ran the Karting at Knockhill- it may be the yellow car pictured above. I've just sol...

Unfortunately I am just learning about this now. I deeply regret missing Lawrence’s funeral. Random memories: * 1997 Doune Hill Climb- Seeing his azure Elise for the first time * Don Palmer’s Wetter the Better and the drive back home in torrential rain * Various conversations - Over red wine at ...

Lawrence, Campbell,

Good to hear from you. Must catch up soon!

Lawrence, I didn't know David Sleigh was competing (haven't seen him in years either). He was always a bit mad!

Been really busy with work (we were acquired) and with the family, and it's now really difficult to get a baby sitter (Fiona's mum d...
