Hi, I signed up here a couple years ago but haven't been able to login, old an not computer savvy so just been reading. Just got internet access at my shop so tried my login and got right in.
I was at the Barber vintage motorcycle festival a few years ago in the museum to escape heat before going home. I've only seen a couple Elan's before and told my friend Ted thats about as good as it gets. I like small light and simple to work on. Did some research when I got home and realized the motors really crammed in there. It was enough to put me off not that I could justify one. A couple months later my grandsons friends family was moving back to Norman Oklahoma where I live. They were unloading stuff and the dad was telling me what the next load was and one item was a Lotus. I went over a couple weeks later and the driveway was full of boats, cars and one 1973 Europa TCS seriously in need of TLC. I got the fever bad as soon as I looked at the motor compartment. So many things were going through my mind. I'm a bike racer nut and the last car I really wanted is a formula ford. Not going to happen and I still have my first car a BMW 2002. It makes doing errands fun. So i'm looking at basically a formula ford street legal with an epic motor built by Colin Chapman . I told him thats cool but its gonna need some help. I hit the innernet and quickly decided with better brakes and shocks I could run for fastest lap at autocross and and if it'll take the hairpin at the kart track Oh Man Cheap Fun. So a couple days later i'm helping move and he says I gotta get rid of that and I say how much and its way low
