Believe it or not, I find summer generally too hot for open top driving. Although in the last few days I’ve been in an Elan for a late afternoon drive, and was lucky enough to drive my friends S2 Super Seven yesterday. Both were awesome.
I can’t wait to get my Elan on the road. Not much to do.

I know how you feel. Between a closed car with no aircon (+2) and a motorbike, every season except summer is my funtime! Here in the southeastern part of USA summers are really brutal, very hot with enough humidity to make the air feel like hot soup. I've seen fog in valleys here on 76F/24C mornings from the extreme humidity. I leave the toys parked usually from early June to mid-September, give or take depending on conditions. They're just no fun when the sweat pours down like rivers inside my shirt.

Well I’ve just turned 50. I’ve had my MX-5 for 25 years. It’s 30 years old and immaculate. I’ve just bought my first Elan without even driving it! All you long term owners talked me into it. I just love looking at it!
I’ll watch the video.

As Dan is still getting his rego'd, I took him out in mine for a "reminder" spin the other day Sadly no photos as we were having too much fun.....
