On my way home tonight through Kidderminster I saw an immaculate Morris Marina saloon, was in truly magnificent condition.
At work today I drove a Ferrari Mondial, A TVR Grittith 500, Triumph TR6, and a Jaguar Mk2. I love my job :D

Sure & I would too if my work involved MK2 Jags to any extent. Go on, nobody else here at the moment so confess: Do you ever just sit in one of these lovely cars and make child-like "brum brum" noises whilst swinging away at the steering wheel and being chased by imaginary 1970s Police officers? ;)

A blue Triumph Spitfire went by the shop yesterday. Didn't hear it properly but it could have been a "Six". I know a workmate of my fathers did a GT6 conversion to a Spitfire during the 1970s.
