:lol: :lol: :lol: well I have spent my time in sack cloth and ashes [ I don't do penance well ]---- start up time the europa which was eager to start ----bless the French and Renault for building such a bullet proof and reliable motor --the 7 gave a little more resistance as it was chilly out and English motors don't like any thing below 50 degrees before they start --and the elan is being a buggar to get going ---so its Quick start time ---look to the north for the flash and corresponding shock wave a few seconds later ---ed

Best time of year - time for everything to start waking up and you've the summer to look forward to!

Now if I could just get my own elan back on the road it would be perfect.

Sounds like you have a great collection of loti.

Sean.

Beautiful blue sky and 10C here at the moment, but by the time summer arrives it'll be raining no doubt, mainly on Saturdays and Sundays :D

And every time I plan to take the Elan out - like over the past two year, no doubt.

Same here in southern Ohio Ed.
My +2 was real cranky but got going today for the first time in a long long while, Peugeot 505 fired right up.
We all sound like bears coming out of the snow caves.
It was 42' F, very warm compared to the last two months.

well P. E. Treadau, had a plan to destroy English Canada and used immigration to accomplish this as most immigrants wont go to French speaking Canada so they now comprise 60 percent of the population in the rest of the country -----I just stay in the garage and try to learn Hindi ----ed
