my non-Porsche picture of the day

[Winston Teague]

Just in case you’re thinking that might be what’s next, I’d urge you to have a go in one before getting too excited

I've driven several - from a stripped-out ex-racer to an over-restored 'improved'/concours car & each one felt very different ...

... they make a seven feel like a refined motorway cruiser.

That's part of the appeal - I like 'no frills'/basic/noisy cars ...

.

Maybe the one I drove was a bad one or my expectations were too high but it was so disappointing compared to an Elan.

A very glamorous car for a gentleman’s retirement though.

Its a slightly unfair comparison, Elite vs Elan, the Elite came first........and was, perhaps pitched more as a road going competition car.....W

Despite the floorpan she failed the Beetle float test ('The VW will definitely float, but it will not float indefinitely')

I missed the car in the river, I thought we were looking at the hideous wing,

I definitely prefer the real one to the lego one!

That's what she said about me, too...

I think you'll find your memory has faded KS. She said I much prefer lego....

Personally, I’m not sure I’d be up for a roll around with Michele, as I suspect she may have lost her soft touch
