Dave, do you sit on the side of the road waiting for elans to go past?
Could the 'Hokey-Cokey' actually be what it's all about?

Yes :lol:

Not really! But I drive 30k miles a year (mostly with my eyes open) and I live near a Lotus Main Dealer.

Well I never. 5 mins ago. Medina H ** LDW in Peterculter parked outside the chip shop near the Chinese restaurant. Just over a mile from my house. Don't see many there (and I thought Medina Green was an S2-only colour).

Owner must have been in the restaurant (or the chip shop service was slow) as I saw it coming into 'Culter on the North Deeside Road half an hour earlier with a prematurely grey-haired gent in shades driving (lovely sunny evening), passenger seat occupied. Didn't wave as I was in my wife's Subaru going to pick kids up from the "Free on the Dee" pop concert.

Pristine Pacific Blue in the car park of the Gold Medal, Low Fell.

Thanks to Tony (ABMunro) for the tip off that he was going to be there - we were on the "visiting family and shopping at the Metro Centre" trip so it made a welcome brake!

PS watch out for it in Aberdeen John, it's been there once already.

Old Man Green, partial index of TXI 00--

Winterstoke Road, Ashton, Bristol at 7:00pm yesterday (Friday 7/9/07).

Driver refused to look at me (and had the roof up :roll: ).

(I was in my company car, so it wasn't going over 30mph!)

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?

White Elan (roof down) on the way into Tewkesbury this morning.

I was in the Pacific Blue Elan (Roof Up) heading in the other direction and waving.

A large silver HGV flashed me and repeatedly sounded its horn as it headed towards Milton Keynes just before middy today. I was on the way to Bedford.

I suspect it was a Scania, and therefore Dico. Hi there :smt039

Either that or you'd just cut him up something rotten. Was he waving with more than two fingers?
