Spotted my first elan since owning mine, pity I was in my brothers CR-V. I believe it was a Palacio Purple S2 heading to Drymen on Stirling Road. What a day it was as well absolutely chucking it down with floods everywhere.

That'll be Alan (ab2cv) in his Ribena-mobile. He lives in Edinburgh and hails from Helensburgh way so probably coming from or going to see his parents

According to my cousin there was a very Red Shiny lotus elan driving around in the cadbury fitness club car park. The odd thing was that there was no driver behind the wheel! :bonk:

All he said was the owner had grey hair.

Well it wasn't me:

Shiny........ No.

Fitness club......... I don't think so.

Also, it's in bits in the garage at the moment.

Oh, grey hair.............. Nope. :-D

lol, i know. Just thought not putting your handbrake on properly and almost rolling down the road into a row of parked cars isnt exactly a common occurence. Then again i dont think i would admit to that unless prompted.

P.S he did say the chap looked over 60 so that narrows it down to potentially 5 people. :lol:

It wasn't me - for most of the same reasons as Geoff!

Not shiny
Fitness - WTF :lol:

The handbrake works fine
No hair (let alone grey)
Deffo not that old

(but it isn't in bits)

Yellow elan spotted in bristol monday heading towards fishponds road.

by **Enright** » Thu 14.02.2008, 23:55

Oh that reminds me - yesterday I saw a red one on the M54 near to Cosford around 12.30PM. The reg may have been J*69DEW but the closing speed was at least 140MPH so I can't be sure!
