Norfolk Mustard SE on an H plate southbound M11 at Harlow 8.15 today.

Lady driver - exchanged waves. :smt039

Mrs LittleRob?


Almost certainly. She did use it to work on Wednesday. I'll ask this evening if she waved at anybody. (There was another NM Elan around a while back that *wasn't* us)

Tidy looking purple Elan spotted on friday 3rd oct on the A44 just north of Woodstock at about 1530. I waved but I was a passenger in a white van so may not have been spotted.

Red S2 M*** EAF in Dorking High Street today about 11.30am. I was on foot when it came past from behind me, so no opportunity to eyeball the driver or wave. Looked like there was a satnav in use, suckered to the passenger side of the windscreen, so guessing it wasn't local?

Despite the glorious sunshine and 19-20 degrees it was roof up - shame!

Hi Dave - That was me - High speed run from Clapham to Andover - 1Hr 40Mins. Got onto the A303 and there was a horrible vacuum noise ( couldn't hear until I slowed down) Turned out that the idle adjustment plug in the throttle body had come loose and I found it sitting on the engine support bracket....Lucky me.

Yay!

2 acknowledgements of my observations on 1 page :shock: :D

Richard - I could hear that noise whilst driving the wife's Toyaris down the fast lane of the opposite carriageway, with her yapping to 2 wannabe Uni students in the back. :lol:

You are in such deep sh*t, Specky. My wife's going to ask you for an explanation, rusty carving knife in her hand.

Briefly parked next to a tasty (Club Lotus stickered) 40k Calypso SE (H8** OSC) near the big Cinema at High Wycombe this afternoon.
