Today's Top Spot

Alan, that Beckmeter pump is quite valuable.

Nice looking white Esprit Turbo in the shell garage as I filled up the fabia today (anyone wanna buy it? still for sale ). The pre Stevens restyle effort with the sharper edges.
Owners had it 24 years so has suffered considerable wallet pain but claims its now reliable....Sounded crap...nothing you could put yer finger on, just noisy
like a mk4 tina needing an oil change. He must have gone deaf..... I'll stick with the stag...

I was right behind a Jowett Jupiter in carmarthen early on 2pm ish today looked very clean indeed *TT ? 300

Saw this 1930 Bentley:



90's XJ40;



Audi 80;



(cannot remember the last time I saw either of these two on the road)

I was suppose to be attending a rally on the island held by the Marina club but after waiting nearly two hours this Suntour was the only one to show:



Had to laugh though, the chap who owned the site where we suppose to meet said " I'm glad to see the only decent car made it here", he nodded towards my Dolomite!

[JPB]

Well he does have a point and, more impressively for a Marina owner, a sense of perspective!

I like those Torcars Suntor camper jobbies, just the job for going to shows if you can't be bothered to ring and book at Days Inn well enough ahead. And any car that comes with a cooker and a bog gets my vote.

Today?

Trouble at pumps for Rover owner....



(there was a recovery truck on the forecourt as well )

[JPB]

Ooh, a 3 litre with that crazy-but-incredibly-smoooooth IoE IL6 engine. OK, so it's maybe a wee bit broken but here's hoping he's either mended the thing by now or acted logically and swapped it for a V8 flavoured P5(B).

He'd best watch out though, hanging around on a common people's supermarket forecourt? He's in danger of being

accosted by chavvie types in their nightwear...

A very special british racing green ferrari 400gt. Had a little drive in it today. It's the ex ferrari from our queens late father. He did buy it new at that time. Driving it was a special feeling. If that car could talk it could tell a lot of stories. The man was a playboy and our queen and her sisters aren't the whole family.

All his ferraris were green.

What about a superfast 1964 in GREEN

Found this 911 in the car park of the offices of the Glorious Isle of Wight County Council (Hallowed Be Thy Name) this lunchtime:

A 1972 one. Only a short time they had the oil filler cap in the rearwing. People started filling petrol up in the oil dry sump tank.....

They must have shifted quite a lot else around too then, I recently changed the oil tank on a 73 model and it was in the LEFT rear wing!

[JPB]

Wow! Registered the day before my Dad's 40th birthday. & yes, he was very, very full of rum Sunday past.

According to the DVLA that glorified VW 1302S** should be orange.



**-Envy speaking, I so would, if only for the opportunity to try the pure, unspoilt 911 experience with non of the traction control nonsense.

I think you were drunk when changing.
