Red SE in the car park of the Punchbowl Inn, Bridgnorth, Shropshire with the top down - I was there for a big family meet in my Dad's barge and can recommend the absolutely stunning value carvery there - 5 pounds!

Still a surprise to see an Elan in the wild..

First one I have seen unexpectedly for many months.

I got a wave from an Elise on Saturday. That doesn't happen too often (mind I had pulled in to let him past).

I also used the car with no (evident) failures, so ,my average is up ;-)

Grey one with custom motor and front end (no, not Phil's flying cat) passed by our house at about 9 o'clock this morning; may have been LHD.
