we should all sign a blood oath on buying an elan...
though shalt not sell a shed for less than 6k and an A1 honey of a car will be 18 Large
Price fixing

You might struggle on price - S2s have been known to go for less than 8K and Elises are drifting well below the 10K amount. IMHO secondhand car prices are drifting south.

Good luck

Excellent rant! I totally agree with you!

It was nice to see you post some facts and figures although I noticed that you didn't mention the Honda 2000 jobey. I had a bit of fun with one yesterday and, although it was fun, he outdid me. Its faster in a straight line (as you might expect from the 2.0L engine) and was only very slightly slower round corners (and other cars).

The funny thing was though - all it made me want to do is buy one of ElanScanMans chips, cos the elan looks much better!

the best comment I've had so far-made me laugh

"what a whiner, the reason people want to pay peanuts for an elan is because they are buying it for their wife/girlfriend/mistress. Why? because it is a girls car, get over it... what a shame, and you a cohen brothers fan too! (get an esprit, the mans car!)"

may have to reply.....

Aren't most Elan owners male?

Wonder if the guy has a Smart car

by **piston_broke** » Thu 18.08.2005, 15:08

The Elan is a precision tool.
The Esprit is a tool extension. :wink:

hehehehe

A girls car!!!!!!!! :shock:

What a complete knob head the person who said that must be, you really should give them some abuse back!

Personally I think Elan's are one of the few convertable sports cars that don't look like girls cars!

yes, don't confuse "great looking" with "feminine";

less you may also think a McLaren F1 a girl's car too

by **Stef** » Thu 18.08.2005, 21:37

I'd have one! :lol:

I paid well above market price for Rita and still think I got a bargain! PO and CO are very happy and still bound together by their excitement for a engineering marvel. Blood oath signed and sealed! Besides, unborn children need to grow up knowing the joys of wrenching, right Dave M?
