That appears to be made from wood. Hmm, maybe the boiler inspector turns a blind eye on the day? :lol:

I've found (possibly) my bogey car, as seen down by on Friday Morning. It is, I'm almost sure, a Hyundai Pony or Daihatsu Charmant from a year or two later than the V plate suggested, which would explain the single number character; it's a retained plate and why not eh? With an exclusive bit of motoring history like that in your grasp, you'd want to be a bit mysterious.

I'd love a live steam engine on a larger scale than the mamod ones i have but funds mean i'll have to stick with the small scale for now :)

Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

Ford Anglia, in Anchor Blue, on the A130 this morning. No pic, unfortunately. Too quick. (the sighting, obviously, not the Anglia... ;-))

Saturday 25th coming from Torbay and up the M5, a blue Porsche 911 possibly 70s vintage and being shadowed by a much newer and wider one, probably in convoy after purchase. The blue car was being driven by someone who looked remarkably like Neil Campbell. Sorry no photos as I was driving at the time too.
