The blue Healey 100/6, with triple Webers, is in the local garage again. I saw the boss driving past the shop this morning. I've no yearning to own a Healey but it does sound nice, when all six cylinders are working.

Austin Allegro in full panda car make up was spotted today on the driveway of a house near Fareham, looked very tidy at a glance. Interestingly on the opposite side of the road was some sort of American PD wagon, ala Police Academy!

Took a trip to the Severn Valley Railway - http://www.svr.co.uk/ (Went by train to Kidderminster). In the SVR carpark in Bridgnorth, I saw a newish Morgan (OK too new to be a classic) and in a nearby car park (Small unit type place) was a blaze orange chrome MGB. On a driveway in Worcester (I think) I saw a cream chrome bumper MGB GT and in Hereford I spied a maroon Morris Minor 1000 saloon.

Not a bad day out; the on train cream tea special was very agreeable, especially as we got delayed in Bewdley (Signaling problem). Steak & chips and a pint in the Swan, Bridgnorth......lovely jubbly :D :!: The river Severn was still high :!:

There was a very shiny blue Morris Minor van on the a38 today, yesterday morning the "champagne" K10 showed itself again.

I had no idea airstream had ever made a campervan rather than just caravans. twin rear axles and polished aluminium, that is a seriously cool looking thing! (or I am weird, or both)
You should be able to guess the owner of the car park by the yellow vehicle parked adjacent to it.
How Fantastic! id love to take a look around that.
