Hope they managed to get out ok. Someone contacted me to see if it was me, thankfully not.
Could the 'Hokey-Cokey' actually be what it's all about?

I can only go on the Facebook posts, but no-one was injured, everyone safe and well..... burnt metal/plastic can be replaced, people not so much.

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?

Who was in a green J reg on Sunday morning participating in a crazy road closure que? I was on my way to Donington to watch some racing fun, you zipped up the inside of the massive line of traffic in Chesterfield. It looked lovey and very modern.

Today at 11.35am, driving north between Lower End & Billing in Northants.
Red Elan on a J plate.
I waved at you & you waved back, but I was with my bike wearing an orange top so there is no way you would have known I was an Elan owner.

A429 between Stow and Cirencester about 11.00 this morning - looked to be Silk Red under the shade of the trees through sunglasses, but may have been Calypso. Flashed us in the white baby Elan.

While having my annual MOT at Chris Fould's... really nice suprise to find another Azure Blue Metallic S2 seeing the Fould Guru! Although registered earlier than mine as a 'M' plate, it is in the 400s, where as mine is 331. Good to see.

On one of those dash cam videos on YT a silk red comes over the hill and right past the camera, good clear footage, someone on here I think, FIL plate. Skip to 6.43

And another here, silver one on a cracking day, sun splitting the sky and the roof is up!, shameful!, AAB on the plate. Skip to 5.18
