Have been looking for a replacement for the 'Bullnose' for some while now. Thought I would plump for an Austin 7 but found I could'nt really fit in one! So have searched high and low for another 4 seat open tourer. The cars I have seen thus far have all left me thinking "what a waste of time driving all this way". So tomorrow I'm off again, another 400 miler, that is a long journey in a Fiat Punto, believe me! Dear Lord, let this car I am looking at be as discribed in the Ad' and let the present owner not be a King of the Jungle Bullshi**er. Not much to ask is it?

Hi Dave,
Wouldn't you do better to take a suitcase full of money to the next Lavenham Show or Helmingham bash? Plenty of shiny old crocks to choose from there

Did'nt get to see the Bayliss-Thomas as a family matter took priority. We are now in the process of rearranging a viewing/test drive, but with Christmas upon us?

Good suggestion John, saw a few 'old crocks' at shows last year for sale, but I once purchased a 'local car' and after the upteenth person told me that 'thats Jims car innit? I swore I would'nt buy another local show car.

As soon as I have my new old banger ye shall be the first to know exactly what it is that shall be holding you all up next season tank

How about a nice Cadillac? This was taken in Long Melford in 2004; the driver is swerving to avoid a leaf...

and the lady in the back looks rather resigned to another journey of hell to Brighton. Just what is she thinking to herself??
