The A68

Our Elans were built to be driven and not all of us want to to use them on Track Days. If you use, or plan to use, your Elan as a Grand Tourer and have completed or are planning some great trips then inspire the rest of us with the details.

The A68

Postby VagueShot » Tue 26.01.2010, 08:23

Just did a trip up to Scotland to see an old mate. It was a pity that the weather didn't allow the top to come down, but I did renew an acquaintance with an old adversity, the A68.

At this time of the year, it's virtually empty and great fun to drive. Especially in an Elan.

It got better.

I had a very good lunch at the Manor House Inn, Carterway Heads. I didn't look at their accomodation, but if it matched the rest of the pub, it would be no problem.

Apparently the Cobra Club meet at the same place.

So it can't be that unfriendly to car enthusiasts either.
