So what does your Elan/Plus2 look like today?

It used to be so easy, working beneath the car on stands, to bleed that slave cylinder. But then the last time was over fifteen years ago! Not much success yesterday, so I am excited to fit a remote bleeder, as suggested here. I think I will route it up to the engine compartment.

Best to all.

Are you in Athens, ga? One of those bridges looks extremely familiar.

Tyler,

Bridge should look familiar - this should too, but to answer your questions, I am not in Athens , think the other A-town .

NOW HERE IS A THING THAT DRIVES ME MAD!! WHY IS IT NOT COMPULSORY TO STATE WHERE YOU ARE? IT WOULD MAKE EVERYTHING SO MUCH EASIER FOR US ALL - UNLESS OF COURSE YOU ARE ASHAMED OF WHERE YOU LIVE............... :?:

After our epic trip to northern Spain in October the weather in Somerset - yes, England - has been diableedin' bollicle! Floods - not in our house as it was built in 1610 and they were clever in those days and did not build where it floods - unlike modern developers. The puddles have been spectacular and with a bit of welly you can get the water to go right over the top of the windscreen, (wear a hat). :D

I popped out again today and as the sun was shining and the temperature 1c and windy, to go and visit an old and not very well friend. I stopped by Cadbury Castle, and iron age fort associated with King Arthur, (see Wikipedia), and took a pretty rubbish photograph. The roads are soaking, covered in mud and cow and best of all slippery. Sliding is such fun......... :lol:

Good!

I am glad to see that you are unashamed to let us know where you live. Let's track down and shame the ashamed. Corporal punishment, extra work after school and so on.......... :wink:

Bah, humbug and all that................. :lol:
