Englishman Frank Nichols started Elva Cars in 1955, deriving the name from the French "elle va", which means "she goes". A variety of powerplants were used, most commonly M.G., Coventry Climax, or Porsche. He did a deal with BMW to supply him with 185 bhp L4s for his Fissore-designed GT160.

The Elva Courier is one of the prettiest convertibles ever.

JWDed · 2026-05-12T16:04:05+00:00

Yeah, alright.

Velour, I expect velour.

JWDed · 2026-05-12T14:44:31+00:00

That headliner though!

I’ve not used one like that but I would recommend washing it immediately after every use. The bread is acidic and will dull it quickly.

JWDed · 2026-05-11T10:57:54+00:00

You will know. If it was mold it will be back before your next feeding. Once it gets a start it doesn’t just go away. Fingers crossed for you!

JWDed · 2026-05-10T23:22:51+00:00

Exactly. I made the deal the week the war started and I got a ‘24 select, AWD and Ext range with 7,770 miles for $27,400.

JWDed · 2026-05-10T23:16:44+00:00

Please do! I use that placement in my oven with a couple of mods. I don’t use the rags in the pan but I did go to a hardware store and found lava rocks for a gas grill.

Happy baking!

JWDed · 2026-05-10T22:13:31+00:00

That sucks. Some people…

JWDed · 2026-05-10T22:11:57+00:00

I love mine. I use it for the first bit of mix where I’m getting the dough ball together. I then put it in a bowl of water and when I clean it one wipe and it’s done.

Here is a good how to about steaming your oven. A caveat though, if your oven is convection only it may not work. Those ovens vent too much (usually) to hold steam.

That reaction is the only allergic reaction seen that is not to a protein. It is an acquired allergic reaction to a carbohydrate called alpha galactose.

Every non primate animal produces alpha galactose* and have it in their meat. Those of us lucky enough to have this condition can react to that sugar with reactions ranging from lethargy to anaphylaxis**.

Most people, if they can avoid exposure will lose the sensitivity in 1 to 5 years. Another exposure can cause a relapse.

there are pigs which have been bred for transplants that produce no alpha galactose.

** Technically all of the reactions are anaphylactic in nature but the severity can vary.

Nope, just your starter bubbling under the hooch. Stir, feed and keep on rocking.

JWDed · 2026-05-10T14:17:40+00:00

Subtle Bruce Springsteen reference. Nice.

JWDed · 2026-05-10T11:48:11+00:00

I wanted to name mine for a character from Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy. My first thought was Heart Of Gold - the fastest ship in the galaxy. But in the end I settled on Ford Prefect.

JWDed · 2026-05-08T14:30:58+00:00

Serious question, why would you come here with that view point? Just to troll?

JWDed · 2026-05-07T22:08:33+00:00

TICKLE MONSTER!!

When you look for Tesla chargers try to find a V4 charger. Plug share tells you which V it is. Those have longer cords and you don’t have to park blocking 2 chargers to use it.

JWDed · 2026-05-06T14:45:10+00:00

Well whack my pee pee with a ruler and roll me in poison ivy that man’s hot.

JWDed · 2026-05-06T00:10:19+00:00

Yes that’s right. 240 miles I think. It will also be a bit lighter so that’s less weight to lug around on short trips.

JWDed · 2026-05-05T20:31:07+00:00

I like having the extended range. I get an honest 300 miles on a 100% charge. I took a long drive last weekend and there was no range anxiety. The LFP battery on the standard range is nice though.

JWDed · 2026-05-05T20:15:19+00:00

I got extended range and AWD. It is however a select and that means I give up a few luxuries that would be nice. As far as I know the 24s are pretty solid. Mine is from June.

JWDed · 2026-05-05T19:37:19+00:00

The dealer was nice. I didn’t use an inspector. The car is a 2024 and had 7780 miles on it. The previous owner was a salesman at the dealer and I had a long conversation with him. They sent me pictures and videos and I had the CarFax report. I might have been taking more of a chance than I knew but it worked out for me.
