Citroen Amis are the sexiest things out there. Well, alright, but they are pretty cool. Mine is like a sort of mini "Christine". :)

I've seen two late '60s 911s, going up the M5 on Thursday night near Worcester, and a Mk I Ford Escort Nimbus pop top camper conversion at Kington in Herefordshire over the weekend.

And a Rolls Royce Shadow 2 on a V / 79 / 80 plate in aqua at the bottom of the street has I got home.
