My wife would...

...Absolutely kill me.

But it might be worth it

But you'd die happy!

Amen Brother

There's nothing like driving a well-sorted Elan!
Where's Doc?

[DNK]

...Where's Doc?- Doug

Sleepin one off?

 

[Banjo]

...Where's Doc?- Doug

Sleepin one off?

Nah... prolly on his way to pick up that Elan......

That's what I was thinking.

I still think they look like a Miata a bit.

 

[DNK]

Er, Don't you mean Miatas look like Elans, Billy?

 

[AngliaGT]

Mazda actually puchased two Elans when the were developing
the Miata.

[drooartz]

Ya know, Don, I live just about 1.5 hours from that car. I'd be happy to check it out for you.

 

[DNK]

Drew, that is not fair!
Cruel and unusual punishment if I do say

 

[Guest]

Er, Don't you mean Miatas look like Elans, Billy?

Yeah.

I wonder what the second one was for, stunt car?

 

[Guest]

This from the Elan wiki:

"The original Elan is commonly credited as being the design inspiration for the highly successful 1990 Mazda MX-5 (Mazda Miata in North America). In fact, two Elans were intimately evaluated by Mazda in the process of designing the MX-5.[1]"


I knew it looked like a Miata.


So I guess a Miata is a reliable Elan without the character.

 

[DNK]

Elans aren't reliable.
Forget it then.

 

[William]

I was with youse guys till I looked to the right a bit. Given the choice between the two I'd have to go with Red, even though I don't speak the language.

Is any English car?

So there you have it, buy a Miata and your wife will be happy. :thumbsup: ( ducks for cover.)

Nahh... saw that before, Mickey posted it inna Lotus forum. Somebody's gonna get a bargain!

...needs a proper dash, tho.

Don, I drove mine for eleven years as a daily. They can be made to be as reliable as any other car... mostly. Now I need one of those Spyder frames ($4K!!). Road salt inna north-east ate mine.

GO GET THAT THING!!

 

[DNK]

Doc, thought about doing it in the Lotus area. I spy on that side only.
It has to be gone by know

 

[Guest]

It has to be gone by now

Call them. If you don't it'll be gone. If it is, you're not out anything anyway.

Give 'em a buzz.

( I have to admit, this makes me like Miatas even more.)
