I would love to see one of these Volkswagen/Morris hybrids.

Poor mogs, When I (eventually) get mine looking pristine and get the welding done on the Range i'll be after a traveller (probably 2 years time). I gave my last one away when i lost my storage space as it needed a weldathon to get it road legal again.

oh, almost forgot the reason for the post:

:lol: Wishful thinking there methinks.

Today I have mostly been seeing:

At a small garage in the village of Wall, in South West Northumberland; A red VW 1303 or 1303S and a Bristol like this one:

Both standing in front of the workshop, the bug in lovely condition, the Bristol looking less lovely but I still would.

In Morpeth; a very green Triumph TR6 with a large, laughing man behind the wheel, large chunks of him in the passenger seat too.
In Rothbury, a pair of Heralds that appear to be permanent fixtures in the off street parking area parallel to the main street.
In Heddon-on-the Wall, near Newcastle; a Ford Cortina MK2 (1600E?) in aubergine metallic.
In Alnwick; a 1966 Volvo 122s in red with patches of white showing through where it's been polished quite a lot over the years.
On the A68 near the border; three VW T2s, all loaves, all camper vans, no wood in sight and none travelling. Vans, that's what I'd call them. :?
By the side of the Tweed near Kelso; an A35 with a period sun visor across the screen parked up, its occupants sitting on folding chairs beside the car and tucking in to a particularly large pile of what appeared to be Babybelle with chives, served with Walker's crisps (flavour unknown) and Irn Bru, poured from a 2 litre economy pack into plastic cups of the type usually found in vending machines.

Heddon-on-the-Wall? The three houses in a row together on the main road, well the one with the green gate and ugly extensions was the house I grew up in! (Minus the extensions - when we had it it was just a tiny terraced house :D)

So if you'd gone past around about 1993 you'd have seen a Hillman Imp out the back :D

I saw two male "hairdressers" getting out of a pink Z4 in Grenwich earlier.
Back to the classics there was a very tatty manta on the A2 that had broken down, no pic as i was driving at the time and the policeman wouldn't have liked me blocking the other lane to snap it.

Saw quite a few classics going towards Stratford on the A34/A3400 as I was driving out of there today.
(No pictures as I was Driving)

Studebaker Champion (Not quite sure of exact model)
What looked like an Austin 18 York Saloon being followed by a pink beach buggy

I was following an N reg Triumph Dolomite

3 fully tricked out Defenders on German Plates

and mid 70's Ford Capri in Henley in Arden
Landrovers and Welding go together like Bread and Butter. And in the wet they are about as structurally sound

Biting. It's like kissing except there's a winner
