A number of old Volvos have gone past the shop this morning. I saw a 240 series estate, a couple of Amazon saloons and a PV544. One benefit, of working in a national park, is that you see this sort of run quite often.......and then think "I wish I was on a run too" (Though not today as it's crapping down). I hope Powys County Council's ongoing bodgey road repairs didn't cause any stone chips :roll: :twisted: .

Walking the dogs earlier, got passed by a bloke on a Matchless. Out greenlaning, on his old iron. Love that! 8-)

:shock:
I once watched Brokeback Mountain but must have missed that scene. :oops:



I love the white Consul Capri in your previous post, those things are such a joy to behold, IMHO.

He's a regular around here. I expect to see him at Cressing Temple show later in the year.

I caught a glimpse of a very nice looking Fiat X19 driving past today (I think it may have been an early small bumper example). In the late 1970s, I wanted one.

I also saw an MG TA/B/C, though it didn't quite sound like a T type (But it wasn't a replica....and the Naylor/Hutson was based around the TF).
