Still on the hols in Portugal - Cascais - coast road - we did not go too far today so only a Renault 4 GTL & a Merc W123 saloon both in hearing aid biege but then a stunning Jag Mk 2 in black came rolling through - sort of made up for it.

Nice red Porsche 356 - just up the coast line from Cascais

Today - All in and around the town of Sintra

Citroen 2 CV - grey with red wings - very well presented
Peugeot 504 saloon in mid blue

Driving home from school, pulling out a junction and before we do there's a "Paaaarrrrp!" from a TR4A. Me: "OMG Triumph TR4A!!!!" Then followed several more Triumphs, including a Stag, TR6s, a TR8, and a few more TR4As. The TR8 we joined behind bekoned us into a car park (where I saw that Series 1 Land Rover), so we followed and parked up. It was awesome! They all loved the V12 too :)
*Cough*

These pictures seem to have *ahem* interesting adverts around them, so I'll put them back on tomorrow, minus that :oops: :oops: :oops:
