Spotted a BRG on the A4 at about 7:30 this evening I think, I was in the BRG going the other way, but I didn't notice until too late to pop the lights at you >_<

Blue SE just outside Halland in East Sussex this morning, I was in the highly consipcuous car waving like an idiot - for some reason you backed off - probably thought I was a nutter!

Briefly drove in convoy with E1AN U - mustard yellow SE on arrival at Goodwood Festival of Speed on Friday morning.

Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! I had the chance to have a good look at the Evora, which is fantastic.

Saw E1AN U at the Club Lotus Sussex Area track day at Goodwood a couple of months ago - IIRC it was recently bought by husband/partner of the CL Sussex Area Leader. Think they bought it at the Donington show earlier this year.

Not to be too picky - but it is Racing Yellow, not Norfolk Mustard :lol: :lol:

(or at least, it was when i looked at it at Donny)

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

Heading home yesterday in the pouring rain around 16:00 and as I was joining the M1 at Junction 27 spotted a H Reg Blue Elan through a gap in the traffic in the outside lane. Unfortunately I was in the Rover and boxed in by lorries so couldn't catch up to see who it was although I hope they either had good seals or were wearing scuba gear.

Medina S2, westbound on the M3 at junction 1 on Sunday afternoon, going very, very fast indeed. I had no chance of catching him at my stately 70mph, particularly as I'd just seen someone being pulled over and ticketed by an unmarked car!

Finally!!!! That was me :) Jersey plates, A25 on Sunday, we were out catching adders, came up from Kent for the day, you have no idea how much driving I've done and never been spotted :(

Still not seen another Elan out there to join up with, all in good time :)
