they are the ones - paw print soles.

to get back on topic, I am sure that they gave me my love of walking

I hate walking, always have done. If God had meant us to walk everywhere why did he invent horses and then cars.

Very nice too! How have you modified it?
Before I got divorced, I had one of these:

It was exactly like this one, Lotus Elan SE Turbo. It was bloody brilliant. I know Lotus purists poured scorn on it because it was front wheel drive and had an Izusu engine but it was a fantastic car that you could use as your daily runner, no problem. It was also pretty much bullet-proof which was unusual for a Lotus back then.

Unfortunately, post divorce, I couldn't really afford to keep it hence the move to the motorbike.

Cheers Zebbo always had a soft spot for the "new" elan.

The Elise is modded with Jenvey DTH throttle bodies, aggressive Piper Cams, huge airbox with 90mm trumpets, Emerald ECU, Gaz suspension, quick steering rack, Larini manifold, 2bular exhaust, Sport 135 head, CR gearbox and, and.....was doing track days and weighed it with half a tank at 725kg, now back to road for high days / holidays

standard its about 118bhp @5500, mine now as per the graph below, 160@7200, so around 220bhp/tonne, moves nicely

though the blue curve is what you feel, loads more torque everywhere.
