Lovely old buses. I remember travelling on those, on the Isle of Wight.
spotted a vittese on Saturday lunch time on my way home from Carmarthen I usually leave my mobile at home as I don't want calls 'it's usually some one wanting something'
may think what's the point of a mobile ........
Whilst collecting project SB yesterday I saw a McLaren MP4/12C southbound on the M40 and northbound, a proper AC Cobra (69 vintage), a vey tidy early seventies Morgan +8 and a very sad looking pimento red 77 Spitfire on a trailer behind a Discovery. This last combo and I exchanged places and merry greetings several times between Wycombe and Warwick.

Here's my efforts from the past week!
Herald was in a fantastic original condition, whereas the 500 was restored to perfection!
Aventador just sounded awesome, it was being followed by a Ford F-150 on air ride too, but I missed that.
On this same day, I also saw an 80's 911 turbo, and a minty mint BGT in burgandy - lovely!

I saw this 1973 Peugeot 504 convertable pulling into an office complex in Canary Wharf today, I did a Google to find out a bit more about it and found the ad selling the very same car.
Sort of French Stag....should have made it right hand drive originally. They probably didnt because of the Stag, bit like Fiat not bothering with a rhd
