Green Elan 'GDS' or something similar on the plate. Coming out of a hotel on the A443 near Shelsley Walsh with a group of other classic cars. This was around 11am yesterday.

Was in the Pykie van with JB who let some out from the hotel carpark. Turned around hoping there was something on at Shelsley they were heading towards, but looked like the group was on the Leisure Route instead.

Anyone from here?

Buncha Elans at Chris Foulds' place today when I went to pick up some A-post seals.

Didn't get all the plates but there was a graphite SE plate ending GRX with LEC wheel centres, White SE with a fresh hood and a re-built rear bumper, BRG SE with Yellow leather seats in for the A-post seals to be replaced, and a Yellow S2.

This elderly gentleman told me that he'd traded in his previous transport, and did I want to buy some venison?

No, certainly not.

It's very much for amusement only.

I don't think that pics taken in 2008 should really be valid for the 2009 calendar, and it was a poorly cropped snap taken by my Mrs.

I'd be tempted to pose it properly (preferably in a red car) if we get more snow, though.
