Sorry about the pic quality

Cool pics all the same! A guy a few doors up used to have a yellow Elan +2 on axle stands in his drive for years. Wonder what happened to it...

That stretched Mini is bloody insane!! ;D I saw a gorgeous old-S reg (what's that, 1978?) Leyland Mini yesterday in a car park, parked right next to me, brown with revolution 5 spokes and Sparco buckets and a cage in it, and in great condition too. Too bad I wasn't in the Imp, or I'd have suggested a race up the backroads!! Two rival 70s giant killers, both brown and both modded, it would have been a good fight!!


That Elan's cool too, I've always had a thing for old Lotuses lying by the side of the road, there's one on the old road up to the Rest and Be Thanful that you're really not supposed to use anymore, but if you do, say flat out in a Hillman Imp, not letting your right boot off the throttle once even in the corners, for example's sake ( ) then there's what looks to me to be a grey Lotus Europa in the garden of an old house, as far as I'm aware it hasn't moved a long time either. Next time I'm up that way I'll try and get a better look, although the last time I looked in an apparently empty garden to see more of an old motor I'd spotted I got some unwanted attention from a not inconsiderable alsation that turned out to be guarding the place! ;D ;D ;D ;D
