Jeep has to live in the boy's garage , he said last week he thought it needed a run, any excuse !
Was all geared up and looking forward to VE day, perhaps we will have to wait and combine it with VJ day later, hopefully settling down by then?

A red Triumph 2500 made 2 trips to Waitrose in Beckenham on Saturday.



Really wish I'd been thinking more about the shopping and less about this being the cars first run since a full Covid lockdown gearbox overhaul, so realise I'd forgotten my wallet before spending 20min in the queue outside the store paperbag

Spotted this today - just about qualifies IMO - hope he was going to the local ATS or exhaust place - coz it sounded awful, a real bag 'o bones - probably needed a new exhaust frown No 90's rally Scooby ever sounded anything like this shedfrown

I don't think Orion man likes people parking close...look how he is positioned in the grid lines to stop someone squeezing between him and the Mini.

Trouble is this does not work...as "mum" in her Nissan Duke is not "aware of anything!"

My '68 Moggie has been shopping many times recently.

But that's just the norm, as it's my daily driver smile

Took mine to get some essential diy bits the other day. First time I’d driven anything for over a month.

I dont normally park like this, but I'm always a little concerned when I leave any of my cars in a public car park!

That's beautiful. For me, the archetypal British sports car.

What is it?

(I know it's an AC but there are quite few subtypes – no doubt Dandarez/Doofus/Chevrons will be able to illuminate a little more.)

According to the DVLA it's a green MG smile

I expect it's a kit car based on MGB parts.
