NATIONAL VIRTUAL MEET SUNDAY 5TH APRIL

[Clarkie1978]

Hi all.

I look on in interest as I'm new to this forum, as I'm not a Elgrand owner but doing my homework to become one!

I've got to say that I'd never really considered a E50 variant but all of yours look mega cool!! .

When I treat myself, it'll be my daily driver and obviously as the E50's are older than the E51's, would this be sensible to daily?

Are parts for the E50 easy to obtain?

Thanks everyone and enjoy the meet!

Hi Everyone
Julie here this virtual meet is fab for someone like me due to a chronic illness it wasn't looking great to get to a real meet! My Brumby is my love and my freedom but shes parked up the road so pics are one's I took before lockdown
Things I've had done to her so far is the wheelchair hoist in the back.

Hi I'm Mike and have owned my 2002 Ne 51 Elgrand since 2015, I bought the vehicle with a view to converting her(Martha) into a campervan, for a trip I'd been loosely planning for a 12 month trip across Europe and into Turkey for 3 months (visa requirements only give 3 months in a 6 month period) I crossed the border into Bulgaria from Turkey October 2018 (I have friends living there) and kinda stayed making Bulgaria my base, for anyone interested this is my Facebook page

[KnightRider]

I'm just here to say the white e51 rider is the fastest.... hahahaha from andy in Manchester old as fook

 

[Fuji_user]

Good morning people, hope everybody is well.
My name is Steve and I bought my E51 in December last year. It is a Highway star with some rider features and to say that I am impressed with it would be an understatement. I have taken it to the Lakes quite a few times this year and also took it up to Glencoe in the Scottish Highlands.
Looking forward to meeting up with some of you once all this is over.

does that include lemony?

Yes of course!
