Elan at work

[arbell9]

Look at what was parked at work yesterday. Would be good to find out who owns this as they could join us on our hoons.

Work for me is AZ at Alderley Park, Cheshire.

A nice silver Elan. In nice nick too.

NO ANDY!! We couldn't have another Lotus off the road for 3 years!! Get the 4 you have on the road first!

Also not sure about those wheels.

But they're a girls car! Look, here's a pic of a girl driving one:

Hey GKP

I drive an S3 turbo does that make it a girlie car???

Sue

[andydclements]

No, a Turbo Esprit isn't a girlie car, now a GT3 might be.

[Advantage]

It all depends on whether you've got a pic of it being hoofed round a track.

[Boots]

Look out for me at Hethel!!!!

Have been round Goodwood and Castle Combe in an Alfasud Sprint. No pics tho.

Simon you are a girl - one of my wife's favourite Lotus the Elan and very popular at the WI from what i hear.

The wheels are poop. It's like a girl in DM boots you just don't do ya.

That one going 40 round the track is a nice colour NOT!!

Although contrary to my comments I quite like the Elan it's a nice car for the Mrs. Although so is an Esprit or an Exige or and Elise when I think about it, it's just my wife made us get her a touran - something to do with room and baby seats - i am still not convinced.

Not even like this?

That's Louise ragging her old Elan around Castle Combe, you're going to have to trust me when I tell you she was driving considerably faster than 40 mph! The colour, poorly recreated by the photo, is Silk Red, a metallic burgundy and is beautiful.

I'm not going to accept a judgement of taste by anyone who has strips of LEDs on the underside of their car...

[andydclements]

That, coming from somebody who takes styling tips from British Rail of the 80s, is quite something.
