Where did you drive your Elan today ?

A monthly gathering of all types of cars, just a few miles from my house. Unfortunately, it's only
a few miles from my house so I always take the looooong way there and back.,

Had a nice hillclimb event yesterday in black forest.
Much fun and nothing broken

I drove to work in my Sprint. Only the next door village a couple of miles away.

It was overcast on the way there this morning. I parked up and left the car in the outside car park.

I have just returned home and sit here writing this with a rather damp bum. Whilst I was away it rained - and rained.

Somewhat inevitably a degree of H2O made its way onto the drivers seat. Fortunately I had a large micro cloth in the boot, so was able to soak most of it up. I then rested the cloth on my right knee (UK) to absorb the drips coming in from the top of the window frame where it apparently no longer meets the rubber lip of the hood!

And if you expected me to stop, fish out my 'phone and take a photo, hard luck - I was getting wet enough as it was!

How could I forget to mention this event? It's about twenty miles as the crow flies from where I live. I haven't been in a few months, but here are some highlights from February:

I parked next to a FANTASTIC Buick!

That's Greg's FHC in the background:

A rather fun-looking Merlyn:

1978 Pontiac Firebird Esprit, one owner!

Famous Frank's S2 hangin' out with the Trumpets:

Can anybody who's not a Yank identify this? :mrgreen:

This Triumph Toledo has been hot-rodded a bit:

The only Matra-Simca Bagheera I have EVER seen in the USA:

Very nice pictures, thanks for posting them up. Good to see a healthy classic scene where you are.

As for the above image, I don't have a clue, very elaborate airflow grill

Even as a Yank, that amazing black paint job creates an illusion that makes it difficult to ID at first glance (but I did). It looks like there's more chrome than there really is. :wink:

Yes it does! As a fan of interesting images and details in them, I'm kinda proud of that one.
