SE5/a in its natural pelt, grazing cautiously while keeping a weather eye out for predators.

Yes, more or less by accident; I was going to Bradfield from Newbury. Normally I would drive a bit past The Prancing Horse in Thatcham and turn north but I wondered if there was a way through if I went up by the Spotted Dog in Cold Ash.

It's albino, so has retained the winter coat longer into spring.

I was asked to post these here. This was inside the workshop, a Mini instantly seen, but at the back a lot of motor cycle wheels and parts. Impossible to make out what though.



But outside this lot:-















I left a card in the letter box and hope someone will contact me

Spotted this last week in Southampton, even a mouldy 1.3Gl 4 door must be worth £15k+ on ebay...

I cycle past this classic graveyard occasionally on my evening rides. Looks like there's an alfa 164, three old roadsters (I can't work out what they are but I get the feeling it's painfully obvious edit: think they're triumph TR7s?) and I think there are one or two others lurking in the undergrowth at the back.

I snapped this one tonight



And this one is from streetview.

I reckon you're right. Good shout, they're much cooler.

Unrelated, I also cycled past a lovely Lanci Fulvia this evening. First time I'd seen one in the flesh I think - such a pretty car.
