My Back Yard

The rain finally cleared so my son and I decided to go for a little drive down the road. We brought the DJI Spark drone with us ;-)

Very, very nice! if when you died, you could drive your Elan in heaven, then that's how I imagine it would look like.

The roads around where I live (here in the UK), look more like the hard shoulder with the pothole full of water that you see by the side of the road at the end of the clip.

A nice way to start my week, seeing that video & I thank you for that.

Beautiful Elan too by the way - were those wheels cream/white in colour or silver? Very nice all the same.

Glen, your son needs to be commissioned for all of our LOGs. Great stuff! Thanks!

Thank you for all your kind comments. I will pass them on to my son. I am very fortunate to live in an area that has great driving roads to wonderful destinations, all from the door of my garage. Sports car heaven.

The wheels on my Elan are painted silver.

Thanks for the this beautiful video.

Your roads and the whole area look great ! I wish I had th same thing. Too many stop lights and huge vehicles in my area. Lotus drivers need to be careful.

Glen,
Great video work by your son. I might have gone for some sprightly Mozart for the sound track, but thanks just me. Thanks for posting this.
