Scottish Elises

Well another newbie checking in here. Currently based in Edinburgh and looking to buy either a VX or Elise.
If i ever find the one i want, you can look forward to lots of inane questions (not mechanically minded in the slightest) and.............well that is probably about it.

BTW anyone here own the yellow elise i always see around Edinburgh business park?

check out our classified section!

Tip - Buy Gordon's S1. Never seen a mechanically better car...

It's in the classifieds.

Welcome along, by the way.

Hello!

Get one you won't regret it!

If you can check out the meets section and come along, or even better get yourself to Lawrence's this week end for a bit of "spanners and sponges" action.

We are a friendly bunch with a tendancy for mild eccenticity and bouts of high speed loonacy

Hello,

If you are free on Thu you should come up to Knockhill as there will be VX's and loti of all descriptions up there.

Gordons car does look a cracker.......however if you are interested in taking the brave step into VX ownership (stop laughing at the back) get registered on http://www.vx220.org.uk.

There are a few VX's in Scotland now, pm / email me if you want a shot / advice / passenger lap round round KH where i spin and wipe out some cones

yep, have seen gordons, but ideally i really need a few less miles and modifications.

Also seen the s135 which i think the other half is quite keen on; although the lack of radio may prove a stumbling block.

Seems to be quite a lot of choice at the moment and there are a few down South which are holding my interest.

No cones now apparently, they were gone when I did my hy-performance day last week. Plenty of over the kerb action (Eventually )

Assume it is during the day on Thursday? Doubt if work will let me out to go and look at hairdressers cars (faily clueless in the office).

I actually prefer the VX, but gf seems more inclined towards elise ownership.

I know I sound like a salesman, but there are no mods on Gordon's that you would not do in 5 minutes. The engine is untouched - it's totally standard, apart from careful attention to detail (and a pile of luck) that gave him that brilliant power figure.

The S2 suspension is just ideal - you'd be mad to want the standard Koni's and I'm sure Gordon will set the geo to standard before selling.

I'm not on commission, I really do think it's a great car. I also know what Gordon's selling it for and it would be great if it all came off for him

I agree with Shugster on this one, having just bought Mandy an S1 on standard dampers.

Within a few days/weeks you'll be on here asking how to get rid of the koni's

Appreciate what you are all saying, and yes, by the sound of it, it does sound a great example.

But ideally, out of all the elise variants, i would prefer a 111s or s135 with lowish mileage.

Hard to explain, but seeing as it is going to be tying up all my cash, it really needs to be something a little special.

Lee's 135 is nice, but I know where I'd put my cash

Its definately worth a gander at Gordons. The only suprising thing is that it isn't already sold

Fair enough mate - sorry if it seemed like you were being leapt on as soon as you joined! It's a bloody mystery to everyone on here why G hasn't sold his car yet and it seems the perfect car for a new owner.

Have fun, whatever you get!
