Hi everyone,
Anyone got any tips for
legallytransporting wife and baby in an Elan?! I'm now the lucky father of a beautiful daughter, born in early August.
I originally thought that since I'll be driving the Elan less I'll have more chance to work on it...
...tip for any yet-to-be-Dads out there: don't be optimistic about the amount of spare time you'll have with a newborn baby! Be pessimistic...then halve it!
Needless to say I'm still trying to stay more up-to-date with LEC goings on and I'll till try and get to meet-ups in the future.
Cheers

An Elan +2 or an Evora would be a good idea!
Congratulations!!

Congrats! These damned kids are what have kept me from driving the Elan much in the last 6 years, personally. But now, they're both finally in school so just yesterday I took my wife on the first drive together since she was pregnant back in 2011!

Thanks everyone
I'm not sure 'the wife' would be keen on the boot, though on occasion she might want to stick 'the daughter' in there!
I'm not sure about 4 seater Lotii. If I was going to have a four seater convertible it would have to be a Bentley Azure or Rolls Royce Corniche! Plenty of room and power for everyone, and who wants good cornering when it'll probably just mean everything gets spilt!

Time to dig deep and buy an Aston DB9 volante
Dave
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?
