Re: Today's Top Spot
Funnily enough I saw a Hornet today too, at my local garage where my car is for its MOT.
They often have classic cars in for work at that garage.

Re: Today's Top Spot
Spotted this GT40 on my way home from Bridgwater, whilst stuck at the lights. Not sure if it's genuine but looks good.

Ha! no, it's a replica. Amazing what you can find with a quick search on Google.

Spotted a lovely Herald in Old Basing earlier, being used for the school run no less.
1978 Twilight Purple Dolomite 1850HL The Lolomite.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.

Re: Today's Top Spot
That's a lovely looking thing. How are you getting on with it? I've always quite fancied a C3 but I prefer living with the C4.george wrote:this one is mine
Drove the new C6 Grand Sport convertible last week, with a six-speed gearbox, real flying machine!
Here's my current car/project:



Not quite a Dolomite. Still have the odd hankering for one though, or a 1300 FWD.

Re: Today's Top Spot
My top spot was this vice on the pavement outside someones house in a pile of scrap.
A proper oldskool Record 35 engineers vice.VERY heavy and all works fine. My plan is to clean it up, degrease it, paint it up and mount to my workbench.
