A Stag and a Morris Minor drove by my parents' house yesterday (Not together), though the latter is local. Considering it was a nice day ( :shock: :shock: ) and that they live in a National Park, I'd have expected to see more.

I saw this old B-Reg Van, but I do not know what it is.

I've seen hundreds of "Jamie Oliver" VW campers recently. I thought these things were supposed to be rare. :)

Drove around 320 miles today, mainly on the Peage roads from the south to mid France today.
On the Peage I saw, a Renault 5 doing about 60mph, a Renault 4 doing about 50 mph :lol: , thought both were brave though .
A Citroen Xm Turbo Diesal which was on a '29' plate so Finistere (western most area of Brittany ) so on a bit of a 'haul' too.
An Opel Corsa 'Viva'! Nova shaped and diesel I have not seen a 'Viva' badged car since, erm a Viva!

I saw my car:

:D
As I was having the car filled up (proper service at Arnold's :) ) a red Vitesse convertible shot past; and then I saw this blue Toledo at the village hall! (I went there purely to have a look at the Toledo, you understand; having never seen one before).

I saw this 1939 VW Steyr earlier, I know this is a Library picture but it is the same car. Also saw a couple of old farm tractors.

:shock: Bit of a moose from the side isn't it?

It's a replica, based on a 1962 VW and registered as such. Understandable as Steyr originals must be fairly hard to track down now.
Looks a little, erm, pepper from the rear too, IMHO again:

A tiny image showing what the real Steyr T55 looks like:

Mmm, salty.

That replica appears as though they started to build it then someone saw the front of the real one and hadn't the heart to smash up the face of a pretty old bug that way.

"Home is where you park it", so the saying goes. That may yet come true.. :oops:
