codymac · 02-02-2009, 09:59 PM

Man it sounds good!

gospeedv8 · 02-03-2009, 01:25 AM

Very cool! Great little car.

Likuid · 02-03-2009, 06:33 AM

Awesome.

Randy Chase · 02-03-2009, 08:37 AM

We are planning another trip to the garage this week or next. Let me know if you need a pic of anything.

PatrickShim · 02-03-2009, 08:44 AM

Does he own any other LTS other than the two Elans?

Slipstreamer · 02-03-2009, 08:48 AM

The Elan just happens to be one of my all-time favorite cars. I've always wanted one but they the properly sorted ones are very hard to find and not cheap. Eventually ended up with an Elise instead

Just the two Elans. One of the guys that works in the garage owns a Seven, maybe 1963?

Pics of the Elans and the F1 would be nice - and pics parts and tool storage (for ideas) would be awesome as well.

Of course, if you see any Duesenbergs...

akandok · 02-03-2009, 09:05 AM

That was vary nice, he’s a great car guy.

I watched the Delahaye 135 S episode too, (I like Delahayes, vary beautiful cars) vary cool.

glb · 02-03-2009, 10:03 PM

great video, and they're right about everything I can remember. Hadn't thought of a swirl pot, tho. I had a fitting welded to thermostate housing and attached air bleer to it.

White, mine. Blud, mopho's beauty FOR SALE.

I work at the Tonight Show from time to time, and had worked at NBC Studio's full time from 1994-2001, so I've been lucky enough to see (and hear) much of his collection, which he drives quite a few - and parks outside in the baking summer heat in the NBC midway.
-and of course I snap shots of any new vehicles he shows up in.

amongst my many shots, here's a duesey, loganda,.and ? under restoration.and a bugatti

Randy Chase · 02-03-2009, 10:36 PM

Looks like we will be at the garage on Tuesday next week taking photos
