...so what is this coach spotted in the Olympic torch support procession on the M329 just this evening ? Twin headlights, flat front ; it looks very 1960's and possibly American with the extended roof rack. Any ideas ?

I saw that coach in Coventry, it looked like one of the old BMC rally team service buses.

Just wondering if you have any more pictures of that DB7 in the background (N950 or something is the reg)
Purely because my dad has a very very similar one (picture just below) in chiltern green, which also has the large wheel caps on, and we've never seen another db7 with them on, apart from a purple/burgandy one that enters the concours with us!
Just found it really interesting so if you do have any more pics, let me know! :D

How about this for a first post :P

Spotted on M6 North a few miles past junction 16 around 2.30pm Saturday 14th just gone. Did a bit of research and it sold recently on eBay.

Excellent spot, worthy of putting in the main Dolomite part of the forum to see if it was going to somewhere nice?

Spotted today at Stoneleigh Abbey, a Phillips powered bicycle, with derailleur gears. I think this is a licensed copy of the Mobylette?

Aside from not fitting the boot rack tight enough. the spit custodian also needs a lesson in how to fold the hood properly.

:lol: He's clearly put far too much polish on that boot lid! But it's not all bad, at least the boot rack on this one is the correct way round. 8)

...which is why I only said it wasn't tight enough...:-)

Mind you how much the bar would stop stuff coming over it and through the back window in a frontal shunt is a moot poiint......
Its probably just as useful having it the other more common way to stop stuff falling in the road under neck snapping acceleration...:-)
