It'll be good to meet you there John. I'm looking forward to seeing your Elan as well, after seeing your pictures.

We're a pretty reliable bunch, so I doubt very much you'll be left on your own. :)

That was a great meet and good to see old faces and new. Hope we made you feel welcome John? That Dutton looks fantastic.

Six Elans and seven owners isn't bad for this time of year. Best weather so far at this location, still chuffin' cold though!

Some more photos as well to mark the event.

Mike, I know your Elan's off the road at the moment but did you really have to arrive by air !! :shock:

Had a great time and felt most welcome...

I have lost the before pictures of the Dutton which is a shame as you can see what a dire state it was in when i bought it...The best part of the build was when "Oliver" my 12 year old son who was helping me stabbed me in the eye with a screwdriver..."nice"

He swears to this day he didn't mean it :shock:

The sextuplets look fantastic in the photos but we have found out today they are all very different :?

I'm feeling left out :( The only one with hair.

Anyway, never mind me, look at the two bald patches on those heads, erm tyres.

It's easy for you to laugh Paul, I didn't realise I had a bald patch 'til I saw that picture ! :?

I've been wondering for years now why SWMBO has always insisted on full face photo's of me :oops:

Mind you, it could be worse, at least mine doesn't look like a chess piece. Unless, of course, you count an aerial view of a castle ! :-)
