Cheers chaps. I can claim very little credit for how the Ami looks, that being almost entirely teh work of the previous owner. I'm more an "oily bits" sort of chap, myself ...
As for the Escort, I thought it was pretty cool when it turned up. Then when the owner popped the top and exposed that seventies-tastic stripey fabric, I nearly fainted from an overdose of coolness.

Saw a fabulous early Beetle on the M42 this morning. In contrast saw a particularly pathetic mini wearing illegal black and silver plates E13 something on the A417 yesterday.

I followed an orange Beetle into Gloucester on my way to work yesterday evening. Despite being immediately behind him, then alongside him at some lights, he never even glanced at the Ami. I thought there might be some interest in another odd shaped air cooled car.
Also spotted some kind of Vauxhall convertible (whose driver did give me a wave) and a veteran horseless carriage type thing on the road between Ross and Gloucester earlier on the same journey. I don't know much about veterans and I'm not a particular fan of sixties British stuff, so I couldn't tell you any more about them. But it's nice to see unusual cars coming out to play for the summer again.

This morning on the way in I spotted a tidy enough looking Reliant Kitten (think plastic pig with a wheel on each corner)
Just got back from lunch and a very nice Derby Bentley convertible? was smoking through downtown Langley.

I saw loads yesterday, at the South Wales Classic Car Club's Pencoed Show
. I was parked between a TR4 & and MGB. I saw all sorts, from Minis to a London bus.
