Okay, I've lived in Northern California for 7 years now, and have only seen Elans under arranged circumstances.
Well it just so happens I have seen 2 red Elans in the last week.
One southbound on the 101 in Santa Rosa a week ago, and the other on Trancas in Napa at 7am last Thursday.
both times my eye spotted the Elan's shape at least 1/4 mile away!

I challenged her about that (she doesn't tell me anything :roll: )...

Some excuse about getting lost on the way to Cadbury Garden Centre, and having to turn round :roll:

About midday today, BRG northbound on the A322 just south of M3 jct 3. I waved, but don't think I was spotted in my Calypso SE on the other side of the road...

Aqua/Medina parked up on a driveway in the Morden/Motspur Park area, didn't catch the reg as I only spotted this one out of the corner of my eye...
Is my new neighbour a LECer, then ?

Northbound M11 Harlow to Birchanger 6.30ish tonight.

BRG with opera lights G478 BFC travelling at approx 60mph wlth a Silver Yaris protecting your back end (slipstreaming!)

Shame about the indicator coming on every time you used the flick wipe though :-D

I'm guessing someone was trying out their new toy.

Were you in your Elan? I didn't spot one, although I did see a beautiful blue Elise.

I was close on the number plate - in my defense the perspex was a bit fogged up!

I was in the Vectra,, so you ain't going blind!
