FFS!
The only LEC car to be SORN'd more times than it's been taxed
PS I've heard from the local Halfords store that Autoglym are bringing out a new cobweb cleaner. Could be a big hit in their Manchester stores

Pity it isn't on leaf springs at the rear - it could have a 'jack-up' kit then ! (as opposed to a normal Manc jack-up kit which consists of brown powder, citric acid and a syringe)

Can't quite believe I'm encouraging you all to mess up a once great project thread.

You're more likely to get a bite from the silver one on FB these days, Geoff.
Still there is a strange sense of fun in spamming his 'once great project thread'.

Having woke up early I decided to have a rare LEC browse. Had a read of the first few pages of my project thread. Boy was I passionate about my Elan back then!
Its currently sat unused and (slightly) unloved in my garage
I always said I would own it for life, but now I'm not so sure
Funny how life changes.
Belated Merry Christmas to you all

The thread was only mildly infected with banter back then too.
