A white Midget 1500 stopped outside the shop this afternoon (The sky is a funny blue colour today ). It's funny that I always think they sound strange because my 1500 sounds the way you would expect something with twin 40s, a big valve head and fast road cam to sound and I'm used to a 1500 sounding like that.

And today a smoke grey (Could have been Bermuda blue) Morris Minor saloon went past the shop and later on an Almond green one went past before going back the other way.

Three in a row (Did wonder whether this should go in events but this event has happened and all I want to do is post the pictures)
This was the VSCC (http://www.vscc.co.uk/vsccweb/) race meeting at Pembrey yesterday (They had some classes for 1950s cars). The 400 bhp Sadler Chevrolet won the soundtrack award in my book, though the ERAs and Cooper Bristol also sounded good. One of the noisiest was a Brooklands Riley 9 (Many cars ran with no silencers). I rather liked the Austin 7 Ulster, that was mixing it with some much bigger cars (Maybe in part due to a better driver).
I had a nice run down to Pembrey in the Midget (Via Brecon, Llandovery and Llandeilo).

Check out these 2 E-types I let out of a side turning in Chelsea :-
They're both a bit special,9600 HP is the sole surviving prototype and 848 CRY was the one used in the Italian Job (and was driven by a wonderful old bit of GILF! ) ,bloody lovely and it annoyed me to see how ignorant drivers up there were of these 2 motoring icons,the pair of them almost got side swiped by an articulated lorry
