That's a mate of a mate, and I got the same impression!!!

Midlife crisis car if ever I saw one

My mate did a day there yesterday in his Elan, I drove two sessions in it, and it was the most fun I've had in ages!

Because it wasnt my car and it was wet, I was taking it easier and haveing a whale of a time, just enjoying the car and the way it handles rather than trying to hose everyone as is the norm in my cossie.

Elans are lovely cars - the pedals are just right for heel-and-toe, something I've done for ages in my mondeo, but never been able to crack in the cossie... The complex is MUCH easier and smoother to get right than trying to do it with one pedal per foot!!

Best FWD car I've driven I think!!
