Last Thursday morning 2 Elans on the M20 down to Dover, then saw you again at the ferryport & got on the 10am ferry to Dunkirk. Think you were travelling with a V8 Esprit & an Eclat. Finally seen heading east out of Dunkirk. Anyone?

I am not sure exactly where the location you are describing is.
I did drive from Colchester to MK on Sunday, useing the A507, and arrived in MK at around 8pm, so it was probably me.

I am getting to be a little more aware now, but I did not see a red Elan. Were you in another car?

Strangely enough I was on Millbank on Sunday Afternoon - mine's silver though and I have yet to see hide nor hair of another Elan whilst driving around in mine..

A near miss..

Sounds like Paul Watkins on his way to the Peak district

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

Fellatio S2 (M Reg) Eastbound on the A4440 (Temeside Way) south of Worcester this morning @ 0740.

Geriatric (well, older than me anyway) driver, is Palacio the new BRG?

Blipi near Rockingham about 4:30. Being driven by a bloke, so presumably BJ.

He did have the hood down, which was pretty brave as I'd just been through what I believe we now call a 'heavy shower'

one of those dark blue ones (jimp's got one) travelling south on B2113 towards Billingshurst. Waved but was in VX so probably got the 'look'.
Could the 'Hokey-Cokey' actually be what it's all about?
