Thank you all for the continued replies, it's nice to know some of us are using our cars regularly and also that perhaps this is making people think that they should make more effort to use their cars.
BTW Doug is that an invite?
Kindest regards

When I first got my +2, it was on a limited (5,000) miles policy, but I found myself exceeding this way too easily so had to change to another insurer to get an unlimited mileage policy. Over 7 years Up to 31st December 2008 I was averaging around 6-8,000 miles pa, but none since then...... I am forgetting what it feels like to drive it!
Give it another month.

Jeremy,
I take it that you have a major rebuild or some other item thats stoppng you at the moment? Post some pictures if you are rebuilding and I hope you are driving 6 - 8k miles per annum again soon

Hmmmm..
I've had my +2 since 2001 and have driven 35000 miles since then. I have never broken down, except when the fuel line blocked up. I was carrying a bicycle pump at the time as the fuel tank was dirty and it was starting to give trouble, so I pumped some air back up the fuel line to clear it. On my way again!
Mind you I have replaced every rotating bearing in the car! One can't be too careful
And I have enjoyed every minute.

I was using my Elan a lot up until about a year ago. Every Sunday was a 100+ mile drive
