Not been at Lyneham for 2 years now and am pretty sure there were no other Elans there when I was so no idea who he might be.
Back in Blighty

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The N/A-Team.

I've only just read this - on page 13
I'm afraid I read it as:

On 15th July spotted 2 whilst out in my NM Elan. We were driving back from a very wet long weekend camping near Matlock.
1. Blue approaching the country show in Kimbolton (I think it was). Exchanged flashes and got a really big wave from the Blue who unlike us had the top down (mind, they probably didn't have pillows and sleeping bags in the hood-space )
2. Red at Burwash manor shopping-thingy. Exchanged waves.
So, having driven about 450 miles we saw our only 2 Elans within a (relatively) few miles of each other.
Once again on a "road-trip" we barely put the top down. 2 years ago during 1000 miles to Cork and back it was never down, this year we were topless on Saturday on the run from Hathersage back into Matlock. Still, the car performed flawlessly (despite having a flat battery only the week before) and only leaked a bit, despite the weather being pretty poor.

That goes without saying Geoff. Images tormenting my mind again. Tell them to go away!!!!
