BRG on M4 eastbound around Slough at approx 19:00

Unfortunately the car was on the hardshoulder looked like it was part of a minor four car accident (if there is any such thing).

Hope everybody OK

Patriotic triple spot this evening on M5

Saw a red Elan, then realised it was travelling in convoy as followed by a white one, then a blue one

Not if you're a Womble! :twisted:

That reminds me, I spotted a white one down Itchington Road (by Bristol Memorial Woodlands) on Monday around lunchtime.

If you'd flagged us down I could have given you a set of escutcheons and saved postage :-D

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?

Alas I was travelling the other way in my Abarth 500. Had considered taking the Élan for business trip taking in Birmingham and Bristol, but the lack of air con was one consideration, the uncertainty over hotel parking security being another

Might have been me - I was heading home from St Neots around then after a days driving with some friends to Sheringham. If it was going rather, er, enthusiastically, then was almost certainly me :burnout:

That road is the main route through MK & I don't see too many Elans so I expect it was my first LEC 'spot' for some time.

This was parked up looking good at the Wilton House Supercar Day yesterday.

That event has certainly got much bigger since I first went in 2009. Great day out, but the ratio of Hypercars (say £250k+) to ordinary supercars and sports cars has dropped right off. Well worth a visit for any petrolhead though.
