There was a very smart Zodiac in Ashbourne earlier.
I really should fit my "in car camera" so i can pull stills of interesting things off it!

I saw these two to-day in Battle.

All three of my Minis (The last two shown below) had those Speedwell grille release nuts; they were so useful for doing the points and other stuff down on the side (Front) of the block.



Fast forward 20 - 30 years, just seen a TR6 go past the shop; more accurately heard then saw.

Later on, the same happened, with what I think was an old Bentley. It certainly sounded like a four with a 10 mile long stroke and I caught sight of the back of it as it disappeared towards Brecon.

I saw this Triumph Stag in Battle earlier to-day.

I saw this Toyota MR2 Mk1 earlier to-day, in Battle. (sorry for the thumbnail, photobucket is not working properly at the moment).

Lost count today, what with the number and customers. In one way I was envious but with the sky full of incontinent pigs, I'm glad my cars are at home in the garage

The first was an MGB GT and then an MGB GT V8 went by. It was red which is unusual for a V8. Then they came thick and fast; Alvis TD21, Rover P3, TR3s, Riley RME; I may have spotted a Lanchester......it was great.......just a shame about the weather . Flaming June.....I can think of a stronger word to describe it

Later that morning.... a big old Bentley went the other way. It was misfiring a touch but what a magnificent beast . Shame about the poxy pig poo weather; organising anything in June, July or August is a waste of time MMM that car has just gone the other way; not sure it was a Bentley (I haven't had a clear view of it). It's BRG and it had a six cylinder engine, that sounded as if it has a 10 foot stroke. Wasn't misfiring this time; just a bit of popping on over run Hood was down; well done that man; Id imperfectum manet dum confectum

Saw these two at our local Carrefour supermarket, not an average 'french spot'

Top spottage! Well done that man.

I wondered why it wasn't all wet
