Three if you count the red one I spied on the A1068 yesterday, so it's 403NOT that odd. 8-) Looked absolutely lovely. I'll get a piccie of it next Sunday when it, with owner, will be on display at the Seaburn show - way down there in Makem territory. No eye contact, just travel in straight lines and don't run over anyone's toes while manoeuvring to get the money shot.

Maybe fate is telling you it is time to swap the jeeps for a consul ;)

There were quite a few classics in Weymouth yesterday, along the seafront I spotted a pair of both TR3's, MGA plus a Mk1 Escort. There were some others that I wasn't able to identify whilst peering through the crowds!

400+ classic cars,7 lorries, 10 tractors, 30 motor bikes and 25 stationary engines at our annual show at Scolton manor just outside Haverfordwest. Unfortunately I did not have much time to time to either take photos or have a good look around as I was busy parking the classics then relieving others on the gate and other duties. We had a tremendous day and it looks like we will make several thousand pound for the air ambulance and other local charities. If you are coming down to Pembrokeshire next year the show is always held on the first Sunday in June. Don't leave entering too late as we only had approx 6 spaces left

Took the Midget for a spin (Shop closed on Wednesdays) and stopped off at http://www.eatingoutguide.uk.com/business.asp?id=2146 for late lunch. On the A40, I saw a big American car (Sorry I'm not an expert on those but I'd say it was a 1960s car), as I entered the village of Bwlch and a Wolseley (I think it was a 6/99), as I left Bwlch (Within a mile of each other). Nice to exchange waves with fellow classic owners :D .

Something huge, black, curvy and American drove past my house yesterday while I was clearing up my tools.
Today;
Metro on a "B" plate
Midget
Spitfire
Ferrari Dino
Aston Martin DB9
Maserati (not sure which one)
No pics as I was either too dirty to touch a camera or driving.
