So what does your Elan/Plus2 look like today?

[Quart Meg Miles]

Ah, nostalgia ain't what it used to be.

Season's Grittings to everyone.

Yes sir, we're closing the road in this direction!

Boxing day, with a touch of Atget...

Andy, the line is roughly 14" and it takes a 180 degree turn to the rear, from the slave, and is simply attached to the frame. The picture is shot looking forward, underneath. You can see the clutch fork boot in the background.. Hope this helps.

p.s. I know I posted the part numbers somewhere but can't find the thread at the moment....

In the spirit of Christmas I will be gentle - but what on earth has this got to do do with what your Elan looks like today?

Move......................with my best wishes to pastures more appropriate!

[gjz30075]

Nothing. Just answering Andy's question from a few posts back.

The slim connections are my earlier photo of my car on the lift and me below, thinking there must be an easier way to bleed that slave cylinder, and Greg's serendipitous, incidental comment on his remote bleeder. I agree a new thread will be good.

Thanks, Greg. Remember a kind member reposted your part numbers, so I have them. This is my next project so I hope my next photo of my Elan will have that in place.

In a month, it will be 36 years since I first saw my Elan, hub deep in snow at La Monsa Motors in New Jersey. I bought it a few days later - a joyous event! Happy New Year to all.

The morning started off cold, 6 degrees F. By 11am it was up to a balmy 20F so before the sun dropped in the sky I figured to get out for a drive. I checked the fuel in the tank with the redwood dip stick and it told me I had enough for a short drive (about 2 inches so I kept it to less than 10 miles) but managed to stop at a few spots (some reruns) and get a few pictures. The storm that was mostly rain but had turned into a couple inches of white stuff had the plow trucks out but they also dumped a bit of salt. The salt had done its job and had dried and the other vehicles had powdered it and the wind had take most of it blown away. What was left was dry and none of the snow was going to be melting so I went and took the shore road. As you can see in the pictures none of it stuck to the S2. Hope spring gets here soon, I need to do some work on this driver...

The S3 arrived today, it's passed it's MOT and now I just have to register it.

[lotocone]

Mazzini, The S3 looks great in white. Will you be able to drive it soon, or will you wait for Spring?

Hello Bob,

I hope that you had a good Christmas and New Year. I have to register the car before I can use it on the road, but unfortunately I leave on Sunday for a three week overseas business trip - February looks pretty much the same, so it's not out of choice, but it looks like the car won't be used till March or April.

Hope all is well,

Mazzini

Envey!!! Not only the car but I havn't seen grass and leaves for three months and expect it will be another four here in the middle of Canada.

[RedS4]

Be careful what you wish for ! I drove from Queensland to Sydney via the inland route where the temperature averaged 41 Celsius (no not in the Elan).
On the weekend some places exceeded 48 (about 128F). This is an interesting place in summer....

I am sorry for this one as it is certainly not today - but I have just been sent it from Abalos in Rioja, Spain where we were in September.
It makes me smile when you see where modern car design is heading - big? No - XXXXXXX Enormous!!

Real winter has gotten in the way of me getting out to enjoy the S2 since my last reply on January 3rd. Early A.M. temperatures in the low single digits F and some day time highs in the mid teens Fahrenheit. Tuesday it warmed up and all of the ice melted the rains came and washed away the salt and after two days of near 60 F degrees its back into the mid 30's. The sun was, so out I went. The Elan started up with no issues, first stop was to get fuel and I dropped a $20 in the tank and went for a short ride around town. Here are a few more spots that I haven't posted yet.
