What have you done to your Elgrand today?

[Bob Edwards]

very nice

So it's an S3 NE51 Highway Star in silver, black leather edition. 2008, 45k miles on the clock.

We actually went through an agent and bought from the auction in Japan. Just have to wait for a space on a boat xD.

Lots of plans though, new wheels, new pipes, lpg conversion....perhaps a quick spritz of the headlights. Can see where my cash is going for the foreseeable!

I'm lucky my local garage has sunken ramps so drives straight in. But tyre shop where I get alignment done, mechanic was proper sweating driving it onto the ramps

Loaded up with two adult bikes and two kids bikes for a day out no problem, and still seating for four in luxury. The Elgrand is hard to beat.

Is it a job you have to get done quick to get an mot on it

Yep as much as it pained me to do it. I had to trim the bottom off mine. Certainly worth it as I can drive around without wincing at every speed hump now!

I know it’s crazy i was getting twitchy every time I drove it! then I get out and think wow it looks so nice looking forward to trimming it. When I first got it done the next day drove to Devon and hit a dear that was already dead but smashed my bumper up :/ lol

May be you can compare heights with rob so you know where best to chop it

What do you do when you've finished your ride and they're caked in mud?

I really want a sort of bike bag, I can't find such a thing though. Like a bigger version of my stuff sack for my paraglider with a chunky drawstring to keep all the muck inside.
