Tim,
Boy, I know how you feel. Years ago, something very similar
happened....twice.... with a Porsche Speedster I had!
Even with several Elans, it wasn't until late last year that I broke a
several year Lotus draught as to running street-driven ones. Man,
it's great to get in that Elan and just drive nowhere in particular on
a sunny Saturday morning!

Okay, I stand corrected. My car is about as original as it can be, with
no serious modifications. It's been a while since I rebuilt the
trans...
Or actually driven it for that matter... Finished the restore, 900
miles
of break-in, guy runs the stop sign and takes off the left front corner.
Year and a half later, and I finally get it back all repaired -- just in
time to put it up for the winter. Now I have to sort the carbs, and fix
anything else that isn't right after 2 years of sitting, and I'll be
ready to go. Finally...
