Made me think (historic LC)
Made me think (historic LC)
I know a few of you read Motor Sport magazine and may have read this already. Original road test of the Elan. Made me think of our little plastic cars. Never got to take mine abroad but did some fairly long journeys in it and this review made me think of the links between 2 loti a few decades apart

I'm not gonna mention what happened on the M6 toll road, en route to the Autosport show, with three SEers on board my RS6

Re: Made me think (historic LC)
1975, a few months before they brought in the 70 mph limit on the Motorways.
Unlike you lot completely legal. I must be the only one on here that ever had the chance.
