Re: Interview presentation advice

Last one of these I did was fucking awful. But i put that down to their interviewing skills rather than my presentation. they wanted it to be in the format of a customer bid. So I had presentation slides and presented space for feedback during the presentation. They just wouldnt engage. "We'll ...

Re: FTAO Scots (and probably others)

Some of the driving up here is absolutely insane and the roads are now carrying way more traffic than they were designed-to, especially seasonally with the NC500. Daily I see people doing overtakes I wouldn't consider in my car, I'd love to know what those drivers are thinking. It's the same on the...

RS3 engine in something is a good point as that’s a strong engine that makes an amazing noise.

W111 would be one of the few that an electric drivetrain would enhance it.

Dave!
Approved and agreed.

Re: Jaguar's list of binned cars

Ive "Almost" bought a Jag twice. Both times ended back in a BMW due to the jag dealer being shit. XE-S 3.0 V6. Really really nice car. I drove one on a jaguar experience day. really liked it. But the dealers car was overpriced and they were undervaluing my Golf R. BMW offered me a much bet...

Re: what car thread - Lotus Edition

Lovely looking car in a great colour but the silver one will be a lot better to drive. 40hp absolutely transforms an s1. Would the throttle bodies/cams/etc on the grey one not add anything? Yep - i would expect its pushing circa 150-160 bhp based on the mods. Engine ITG Carbon air filter KiwiRog (S...

Re: what car thread - Lotus Edition

I am in the correct city, but I can't claim to be an Elise expert. :ugeek: Can you ask him to offer an Evora for sale instead? If yes - like George Michael - I'm your man. 8-) Craig Moncrieff (indie based in Edinburgh) does inspections. I've never used him for this but it might be an option for you...

Re: what car thread - Lotus Edition

I know that car, it’s parked on my way to work. I’d say it’s lower than that just now. Happy to have a closer look if you want? Its on Nitrons - easily raised if its too low. Yeah, I would’ve assumed. I think it looks great being really low tbh. i ran mine at 135mm front with a 10mm rake

Re: Lotus Elise S1 - tyres?

Thanks guys! I can confirm I am new, and also not a spambot. Good to hear at least someone else is having a good experience with the AD08RS, most of the chat in forums seems to be people lamenting the transition from AD08R to RS but not a huge amount of comparison between tyres we can actually buy ...
