Hi Chris, Unfortunately my car is still in the garage awaiting its skimmed discs after its track day round Jurby. Also found the reason for its power loss, The CAT was breaking up so its now been removed so next year check your mirrors :-D

have a good day

What an event for Petrol Heads. Literally hundreds of cars of all different shapes and sizes, far more than have been there before, I believe. Saw 4 Elan's including mine but I understand that there were a couple of others there as well.

Nice to meet you Martin - don't sell the Elan!

Good morning run. Very enjoyable.

Loved the blue Carerra GT - lots of other exotica.

Nice to meet up with Martin - did see 3 other Elans but didn't meet the owners.
