Don 'The King of the Buskers' Partridge?

I knew he was dead, is it the same chap?

That's him.

Unable to post links from my coal fired phone, search for "don partridge rosie youtube" and up he will pop I'm fairly certain.

Nick Mason sent his GTO,just a £30M car,no security,not roped off,not even a please don't touch sign.....

His 250 MM was a no show....

In the 80s I treated my bro to a track day at Silverstone. He took his Cooper S and I took my hotted up MG Metro. It was the old Club Circuit and our lap times were similar. The Metro had a much higher top speed but the S pissed all over it in the corners. The point I was going to make is somewhere we have a photo of Pete's S with Nick Mason's 250GTO. 2 VEV was there too. Flat out on the old main straight I came upon the Zagato's bonnet. It was a bit bent.

How did 2VEV lose its bonnet ?

Did it fly off due to not closing it properly ?

Can you do it from the bus shelter please.

I used the Gents's karsy at Russell Square tube station instead,the WiFi there is awesome.

Didn't see you in there? I normally do the 7-10.30pm shift but I must admit I was a bit late as I couldn't find the crow bar.

Turns out I was in the ladies,signs got switched.

I drove all the way to J17 of M4 top down this morning in varying degrees of rain storm,had to put top up off the motorway as I could no longer maintain a decent speed for all the water go go over the top.

Annoying leak onto passenger floor ,comes in at bottom of door seal....

There was classic car club displays there too.

One of these managed not to break down.



And one of these super duper cars too.



Not seen a Marcos with those head lights before,blue one.

Badly fitted. It belonged to a wealthy chap who died a bit later. His wealthy widow married a Chief Constable. Money and influence. The world is a mysterious place

A red Gordon Keeble was going into Chieveley Services at 7.55 this morning as I was leaving with a bag of bacon baguettes.

[coopedup]

Morning all, Dicky could you pass me one of those bacon sarnies please, bloody starving and in need of grub before work.

Bloody staff here are useless I ordered the usual devilled kidneys half an hour ago and they not only haven't arrived but I've been down to the kitchens and cook wasn't there. Neither was my valet, doorman or housemaid. I'm at breaking point as this has happened every day for as long as I can remember.

[DickyC]

The kedgeree is good today if your devilled kidneys don't appear.

After listening to that song 'closer' by chainsmokers for ages I kept wondering to myself why would an american band be talking about rover? I didn't think they were sold in the US...

But after watching the music video I it seems they meant a land rover. d'oh!

Morning people, nice crisp autumn day out there.

[DickyC]

Flushing the radiators in the lounge today.

This has disaster written all over it.
