Today I was blown into the weeds by a very tidy GT6, anyone on here blasting around South Devon?

No not a car but a BSB Squarial, remember those? Proudly on the front of a house I've been driving past every day for 6 years and never noticed it!

Yes! I remember the Squaerials. Austin Allegro owners fitted these things to their homes while other people opted for the round ones.

Ha ha...I remember the quartic wheel....part of the new driving force from Austin that was the All Aggro.

Saw a nice white Lambo comingthe other way on the 316 yesterday near Twickers. I think it was the Guillardo that lives around Richmond green, but seemed to have much more prominent side vents than I remember on a Guillie....

Last time I saw that it was covered in bird poo and obviously lived on the street. Maybe it lives like the DB9 drop top on my street that gets used like anyone esle's focus, parked overnite in the road and all.

Could have been a Murch I suppose.....in which case that was a 1st for me....

Wicked.....and could still be heard going the other way from inside a diesel skoktavia (my mates) with the windows up. Not one for the shy....but good to see it being used.

Today I followed this MG TF:

Then I saw the remains of this Ferguson tractor;

I believe that this is the "wet liner" 4 cylinder engine that was also used in the Standard Vanguard;
