My colleague was passed last night on the A12 near Romford by a 'dark blue S2'.
Doesn't take much guessing really does it :-D

Gazza, you had your roof up! :chair:

Red S2 parked up at Hill Head (near Fareham.)

Bit of a cheat this spot as I am usually towing my sons Laser dinghy to the nearby sailing club and am therefore never in my Elan when passing though the area.

2 spots inside a minute!

In Colchester at 5.30 today, I exchanged waves with the driver of another Pacific Blue J reg when heading from Harwich Road towards St Johns Road.
Less than half a mile further on, I saw a Calypso J reg parked facing opposite traffic. I am pretty sure this one was Paul69's Elan.

Blue J reg on the M2 about 3 pm, yesterday.

Was in the Alfa trying to make the ferry after spending nearly an hour trying to cross the QE2 bridge. :x Did see the B.o.B Lancaster flying past though, looked & sounded fantastic.

No other Elans spotted at Sunday Service Silverstone today.

Blipi was the only one again!

Especially to the delight of a young boy as I dropped the hood to head home! 8)

I really must keep an eye out for these meetings, I would have been up for that if I'd been aware of it.

Aye, from PH. The Sunday Services they hold usually subscribe real quick and notice quite short, but next time I'll try to post notice here. Would be good to have some more Elans present!

Keep check on the Events thread and your local area thread. :)
