I met up with Ian (TheBard) today to check out his Elan. I had a great time, and it was fun riding around in his car. It's quite a solid platform for a 90's sports car, and even more impressive given it's a convertible!

Yup, thats a ZR1, and boy does that thing shift. 
truely amazing car, and a Lotus engine too. Only comment would be if you're 6ft and long of body, you will catch your head on the B pillar, so sit low, and buckle up!

LOL, um I think you can see them in 2 or 3 of the pictures in the link on my second post. Ian's also got some pictures that he'll hopefully post up.
Perhaps he tried to compose those trucks more prominently in the background...

I dug a little bit a found these from I track day a friend and I did a few years back. Your pictures reminded me of them. Same idea, different vintage... What a riot on track in the 'vette. Though after getting out of my car with 4-point harnesses into his with only a lap belt, it felt a little too "free".

Awesome! They both look great! Any specs on the 'vette? I spy an Esprit there in the background, also white. Was it "white cars at the track" day?
Also, any bigger version of your avatar? That's a cool picture.
What do you get when you combine GM, Lotus, and Mercury Marine? One hell of an inboard!
