Yesterday morning I followed a beautifully kept Wolseley 15/50 round the country lanes near my home. It was being driven very cautiously by an elderly gent.

Ooh! an SP250 lookie-likey with the big-block version of the hemi V8 installed. Damn, I'd bet that thing could shock a few boy racers. :twisted:

Is it a classic? Yesterday I saw a Citroen BX GTi. Really can't remember the last BX I saw

Was he up here on Anglesey a couple of weeks ago?
A red SP250 passed me, making a lovely noise. Can't be that many red ones around.

After I got home last night (About 8.35), I had to go to the Spar shop, which is by a roundabout, where the A4047 & A4048 meet. As I approached the shop, a Sunbeam Rapier came up the Blackwood road and headed towards Ebbw Vale on the 4047 (Which was the 465, when the railway was where the 465 now runs). Soon after a Jaguar XK150 FHC followed and after I came out of the shop, a Volvo Amazon went by. They all had numbers and you could see from the poise, that the passengers were navigators. My parents said that about twenty classic cars passed their house, which is nine miles from my house. Having looked up what was on last night, I suspect it was http://www.heroevents.eu/Events/LeJog/le_jog_2011/. It made a nice change from Prattmobiles :D :roll: :!:
