Oh, and millions and millions of those bloody middle class pretend surf dude Jamie Oliver VW bus things. They get a wave from the Ami too, being fellow air cooled travellers, but the drivers always seem to be a bit too far up their own arses to wave back. Tossers.

I've seen a few recently. A series 1 E type in red on the M1 on Monday (I was on the way home from Northumberland in the Ami), then on the same journey on the M42, a white V12 E type on a trailer. Then on Tuesday I saw a yellow Spitfire in Hereford and a Triumph Herald convertible in Ross on Wye. Th...

Despite my signature, I'm not a classic car trader - I just change cars a lot. Except for the 2CV. Which someh...

I fitted a later 2CV engine and gearbox into my 1966 Citroen Ami. Mostly because the old gearbox sounded like a tumble drier full of broken glass and the old engine was siezed. I could (had I been dedicated enough) probably have found an original M4 engine, but who needs to be changing the oil every...
