I like my brothers lotus,too.<br>Why all Elan users drive their car with such ugly wheels and with stock suspension!<br>I find it looks much better,with other wheels and suspension!<br>But i know from my honda friends of America,that the Americans dont like these kind of rims!They like 7,5x17 or 18,but is doesn't look brutal!<br><br>@Michael:Drive on the Nürburgring?When you be there?

Nice clean, RED, Elan.<br><br>"Why all Elan users drive their car with such ugly wheels and with stock suspension! "<br><br>I don't want to defecate on your bonfire but the rears would probably be illegal in the UK because they appear to extend beyond the bodywork.<br><br>Anyway, I like my Elan the way God (Peter Stevens) intended.<br><br>Jim B  a.k.a. muley

@ Resa<br><br>My Elan is now in a deep 'wintersleep' but from next spring i'll sure visit the Nürburgring Nordschleife a couple of times for some 'touristenfahrten'.<br><br>Easy to beat the BTG time of Jeremy Clarckson, 9 minute something, in my Elan :)<br><br>Lets keep in touch to set a date somewhere in may?<br><br>

If you translate German word by word into English, this is what you get  ;D   ::) <br><br>Meaning:<br>They have nothing legal to say about the modification, and therefor has to shut-up.<br><br>(English is NOT easy if you are a foreigner.)  :P   :-[

Love the wheels resa! are they Borbet 'A's?<br><br>The 'deep dish' look isnt as popular with British Cars, apart from the VW scene. <br><br>My old G40 had deep dish RH Cups on, and looked awesome :)<br><br>Great looking car your brother has!
