:lol: Serves you right for having hair. I used to polish my head with a Diesel-soaked rag and that did the job just fine after a car-related sticky goo incident.
I haven't a single strand of fur anywhere, smooth as Anna Friel's left buttock, ideal for crawling underneath and applying Ensis V by brush. :D

And to the point: Today, I got between a couple of 1940s Austin (12s?) on the spine road out of here, which was pleasant enough. Weird thing was that both were wearing Portuguese plates. :?

That's a first, a Landrover that does not have a 'One life, Live it' sticker on it :D

A load of foreign registered (Mostly LHD) just went past the shop. I saw MGAs, Jaguar XK140 Coupe, Triumph Spitfire, Alfa Spiders, MG TD and a later Midget (Spridget variety), Porsche 911 and 928. The plates looked French bit I don't think you need country badges anymore :?: I didn't see any Micras; were you amongst them Rich ;) :?:

Nice Minor, but it's a shame when they lose their original plates as that one has. :(

On the other hand, you don't get to read the modern, SV issue from the pilot's chair and black ones are quite unusual, so I still would. 8-)
