So what does your Elan/Plus2 look like today?

Gary,
Nice pictures as always, I'm intrigued as to how the interior got wet, does the hard top leak? My S4 is as dry as a bone and I have driven through some pretty messy rainy weather in the last few weeks.

The only pictures I have of my car recently are on the driveway, very boring...... I will try to add some better ones this weekend.

regards

You definitely need some Speedblade wipers on your Suepurr Spwint.

Did everyone look at the symmetry of the bodywork under the headlight pods? I find myself doing it on all Elan pics now!

Tim, have you developed a lisp, or were you doing your Elmer Fudd impression? :wink:

The symmetry thing is driving me nuts now, I wish Frank hadn't mentioned it.

What's wrong with the TEX wiper blades fitted?
Are Speedblades OE?

Gary,

Looks like a pretty good "guess" from where I am!

Yeth.

Not a lot, but since you are after the original look, they would be better replaced.

Yeth.

Woh, I missed something from sleeping in one day. What happened?

And where did that handbrake handle spring up from Tim? I don't remember Sprints losing the underdash umbrella handle???

On another thread Gary told me to go for a drive - amongst other things!

This is the result. Somerset Cow Muck that sticks like the devil to a sinner. :wink:

Glorious day though.

Your handbrake position. Does it not interfere with the relaxed left/right arm rest that makes the Elan so comfortable?

Hi David

Glad some folks take my advice, especially when its good. Driving your Elan is good so I did the same, we had a few snow flurries earlier in day just after noon when Beau and I were out in the back yard for a swim (Beau, not me) and the clouds were racing by so about 2:30 I figured it was time. The wind were a steady 20 with gusts to 30 so I took it easy and just played winter tourist. Very nice color on the ocean today so I got several good shots. I think I am running low of sites in town that are different but I sure I'll find a few more if I burn some more premium fuel. It's up to $4.10 a gallon so I'll be cutting back soon, Vote with your wallet and all that crap.
