Wow!..that is a very lovely thing indeed..

Today I saw this Wolseley Hornet:

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.

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.

Looks like the one I had in my Scaletric set (except for a lot bigger of course ).

Good spot that Mart.

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.

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.

Today I saw this BMW motorbike;



And this Escort van (which has been at the top of "I must get a photo of that sometime" list for ages!

Well saw it today at The Gaffers Festival;

So now we know.

So "just" an A10 then, the Rocket Goldstar (A10R) had an ally head and twin carbs. Steve

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.

hi lewis .....got loads of parts to go on it but time to do it is what i need been working 10/7 even b.h . C3 is the one i like showing my age i grew up wanting one of these it's the look i like i know they don't handle that well but you drive it for what it is. I do have another bit later the 80's one but it's got a modified boody kit looks like a bat mobile a realy aggresive look lights are the pod ones with no covers needs tlc been unused for over 10 yrs.
like the firebird.are those edelbrook ally heads i see got sttel wheels on the older vette which would look good on that but they are a little sad at the moment chrome is delaminating
