There were loads of Locaterfields going by this morning (Didn't see them, so much as heard them), some of which may have been old ones.

A few pre war cars just went by, followed by a Porsche 356 (Could have been a replica but it wasn't that close by the time I got to the door.....I wish these classic car people would stop distracting me :lol: ). Shortly after, a Cobra replica went by, followed by a genuine Porsche 911Carrera and within the last minute, a real 356 has just gone by, followed by a TR4 and an MGB and the next one I missed because I was typing :!:

Continued Since then, E Type Jags, MGBs, Hillman Imps, Lotus Elans, TVR Griffith (The Ford V8 type), Mk2 Jag, Morgan +8; too many to list :D , there goes a Triumph 2000... and a GT6 style Spitfire (Looks like a GT6 but sounds like a Spitfire)....TR6 and now some of the Locaterfields are reappearing. I wish I could have been out there in one of mine :( :!: There goes another MGB and an Elan, followed by what looked like and MGA or a Frogeye.....didn't get a good look, as it was a bit too low to see but the rear lights looked as if they belonged on an early MGA or on a Frogeye. Another E Type and an MGB GT..a 911....Morris Minor Traveller...was that a V8 Aston Martin, another BGT and an Elan (I hope it's not the same ones and they're lost).....I give up; this is like the end of the Generation Game :!: Good game :!:

And now a load of pigs have appeared overhead and they are crapping everywhere :twisted: :!:

A red MGA 1600 in Llangynidr car park. It looked like a hard working example, complete with a Halda.

On Friday a Simca 1500 estate, parked up with a for sale sign. Looked good at a passing glance..... Wasn't able to stop and gloat :cry: It was one of those 'double take moments'.

9 TVRs today so I would assume the owners club has a meeting somewhere local-ish.

Llangynidr Service Station had a "Big" Healey in yesterday, that was in need of some attention (Sounded like a 100/6, that was only a 100/4 at the time).

Some lovely old long stroke cars have gone by this morning. I was not able to see exactly what but I did manage to see a Bentley (It was a Bentley rather than a Rolls Royce Bentley); what a fabulous machine :D :D . Weather seems to be improving for them :D . Now if only that damned lottery machine would work properly :!:

Today's totals:
2x Morris Minors
1x e-type
1x TR5
3x MG B
Something pre-war Austin
Rolls Royce Silver Cloud (in silver, amazingly not in use as a wedding car)

I like sunny days, everybody brings their garaged toys out on to the road :)
