Hi,
Quite a few people have probably already seen this but I thought I'd post it on here and share it with folks that haven't seen it...

Hi Innes..... just watched the video, Jay seems pretty smitten by the Elan , my knowledge of the twink is very limited, but how is he going to get 220Hp ( thats what he said wasn't it?) out of his other one I thought 170/180 was just about the limit.

He drives it almost every week. Here is an old post on the subject

Thanks Carlos I did a search for it earlier, incase it had already been posted but obviously missed it!
Plus 2 Ok, 220 Hp... no idea where he's trying to get that from but I think probably not a twincam, you don't get to see whats under the white one's bonnet :(

Here is a link to the first video on the Elan. Not as exciting but nice.

Hi. He'll surely be putting a zetec under there to get 220. Looks like he can afford to do whatever he likes as, according to the website, it's his private collection and garage and he employs a team of mechanics to look after his cars. 8)
