Amen to that! If i hadn't been running late for work this morning (7am), i'd have pulled the roof off the Wrangler and cruised in in style! (the V40 is just not the same experience! :lol: )

What are Sunny days :? :?:

I spied a VW Type 2 split screen on the A465, at about 7.45am. It was light green and white. I couldn't see whether it was a mini bus or a camper (I was about half a mile away at the time) but it had lots of small windows.

Cruising about today was a Bristol 403. I had to look the plate up to find out what it was. I have never seen one "in the flesh" before.
The local e-type was out again as were a couple of Mk1 golfs.

Someone must have paid to have it painted. NO WAY is a red Citroen / Renault / Vauxhall still red after that much time. ;)
