It’s the Gorge de Daluis folks. Scan the comments in the YT link, I posted the exact link to location in gmaps 😀 edit: It’s here

Whilst the club tour was happening this year, I was on my own wee road trip with a few mates (2,100 miles to the south of France). This was probably one of the most enjoyable '7' roads I've ever driven. Barely a straight, and the flow of the corners was simply delicious. --Mark

Nice @ptr_drvr! Really smooth lap. Can't believe you got a whole lap to yourself too, very jealous.

And you reminded me to actually check the assembly manual (that you kindly sent to me three years ago 😆 🤦‍♂️) …

@Jonathan Kay You are not only super fast on the replies, but also the single most helpful human on the entire planet. Thank you 🙏

Old topic — but, how much oil does the 6sp gearbox take? Does one just fill it until it spill out of the side-access fill port? Thanks folks!

Tyres — here's Avon's own documentation. It says 22-27 HOT, which I've found tends to be 18psi cold. Avon Tyres Motorsport - Lotus Seven Club - 2021 Edition.pdf

Are you on 15" or 13" wheels? If the former, then the answer is swapping to the latter will vastly improve things. Everyone said that when I bought my car three years ago, and I took it with a pinch of salt. Until I made the swap and couldn't believe the difference 😂

Mine is a PPE 225 and I just run duct tape over the oil cooler on the road. Else it barely gets above 40º 🥶

Good to note @aerobod - near CYYC, thank you.

Nice one @Miker7, thank you. The ammeter in series is the sort of idea I was thinking of. I’d like to be able to “debug” the issue 😊

Spent six hours in the car today (to NHM and back) — the fuse blew twice on the M1 on the way down 😬 Slightly hairy coast across a couple of lanes to get to the hard shoulder. I put a 15 in the third time, and that lasted the rest of the day, including the dyno session. Both blows on the motorway were simply when cruising along. I have a 'Superlight' dashboard, with the silver toggle switches. Is the 'DCM' anything to do with those does any one know? If I stick a meter across that fuse, can I monitor load there? Electrical numpty* asking, apologies if question sounds daft 😂 Thanks folks! * be gentle

In the sump. I’m not sure why you’d want to take the temp from the tank. Surely the most important oil temp is where it’s being useful, ie the engine? Speaking as a layperson and not an engine specialist 😃

Interesting @BigCol — my car is dry sumped. Oil still gets down there though, and it definitely works 😂

PPE, when they were around (sad face) did mine, and it looks like the oil temp sender is in the drain plug.
