Sports Car Illustrated 1958

Summing up, for the man who wants to drive his car on the street and race it on weekends and still have a chance at the hardware, the Elva Courier will be hard to beat. Admittedly some of the amenities of the full street or boulevard sports car are missing, but to the truly shriven the no-nonsense performance and maneuverability of the Courier will make up for any number of cigarette lighters, ash trays and fancy knobs.

MG 2011 Recon for Reno

Last week I made a short trip to Reno, Nevada for a business trip
but along the way - I started to think about how to drive to the
MG 2011 Reno  event in the most appropriate manner to enjoy an older british car
we are hoping for a few spirited driving companions along the way.
I sussed out  California State Route 139 along the way -  Susanville to Alturas
Nice road especially out of Susanville north and a nice trip past Eagle Lake where there  were actually Eagles in residence.


I have tried Nevada State Route 447 which is beautiful posted 75 mph 2 lane  past Pyramid Lake to the
Black Rock Desert  - the drive out of Gerlach to Eagleville is sports car heaven - I unfortunately drove it in a Vanagon Westfalia where I reached an indicated 88 mph with a wicked tailwind - Should have taken a picture of the speedo there is a Hot springs - Hotel in Cedarville before crossing the Warner Mtns into Alturas
