Sorry to hear that, nick. What is your alarm/immobiliser doing/not doing and what make/model is it?

Here's a pic of the line-up!
From left to right.

Rob's, Iain's, Chris', Mine, Jim's, Nick's and Stevie's.

Russ' black was also there, but he buggered off before the photo call!

And Ailwyn was also there but couldn't bring his Elan due to other reasons!

Just for you Steve! :-D

There's even a space for Russ' alongside yours. Maybe someone can clone a black Elan into the space! :?

Thank you to everyone for a great evening.

Just after you left, we packed up then it stopped raining :roll:

Jen and I went for a stroll round Brokerswood, then a small hike at the White Horse. No rain at all. Drove back and had a thunderstorm for the last few miles ..

Please to hear you got back safely.

Must do an (indoor!) repeat in November time ... Bath area? Stoneleigh?

Cheers

Jim & Jenny

Thanks for a great one everyone. Nice to see new faces and the old ones too.

Thanks to Jim and Jenny for breakfast and the eye cream. The swelling has nearly gone now. Looks like i was bitten in corner of eye and it made it all flair up.

Thanks again to stevie for staying with me while Mr RAC came. I kept losing power on way home then it came back. Everytime I lost power i had a relay buzzing noise. Mr RAC saw that my fuel pump relay was hanging out so he bent the pins on it a bit plugged it back in and vroom. Starter motor still messing about though. The roundabouts on the A27 Chichester bypass were absolutely flooded. Made it back safely and without incedent apart from that.

PS Jim, in your first posted photo, you blacked out the only things that showed up in it! :-D

PPS Michelle was chuffed her mini got in the photos too.

Don`t blame you in the slightest :D She enjoyed it as well, wanted to know why i didn`t take her to donny (thanks Stevie) Then i reminded her that i bought a set of wheels back with me she quietened down (a bit)

Rob, glad your eye went down, glad to hear that the repair was easy

We're pleased to hear you got back safely - hope you can get your Elan fixed without too much grief.

On the photo, the idea is that the lines of the Elan are just visible - it's called art ;) Anyway, we normally blank out number plates ...

Bye for now
