With the purchase of the Elisebeing delayed, I decided to buy a new camera for our trip to England I’ve been wanting a Nikon D100 since they came out but they where a little too expensive. Lucky(?) for me the new Nikon D70 was recently released. I called all over town looking for a camera store that had the kit in stock but couldn’t find one. I did find a store that had a demo and I played with it awhile before placing an order. I should get the camera by Thursday. I’ll need to do several photo trips before we head out to make sure I know how this new camera works.

I noticed the Elan was getting dirty(!) sitting in the garage and I didn’t like that. I decided a car cover was in order, but where do you find a car cover for a Lotus Elan? I dug through the garage and found the car cover from out first Miata, which we sold in 1999.
I checked to be sure no critters were living in the cover and made sure it was clean, and it was. I pulled the cover over the car and it! Since the Elan was the inspiration for the Miata, it shouldn’t have surprised me but it did. It is a bit loose so I wouldn’t use it in the wind but in the garage it is perfect.
For a bunch of reasons I’m not going to be getting an Elise. I called the place I had a deposit and asked for a refund. Maybe one day I’ll get one.
Update: Nadya read this and said it was sad. I don’t see it that way, rather I see it as hopeful. Remember it took 10 years before I got the Seven
