As it's Friday, how about bit of (slightly over thread budget) glamorous French bargery:


Just in case anyone has recently won the lottery and is interested:

I wouldn't mind this to park next to my Gordon Keeble and Iso Rivolta (or Grifo-not fussed which!).......I wish.

It was just as glamorous when I posted it last Friday

Off-topic, do you have any links with the actual Derventio? I grew up there (just over the river actually) and still visit friends and family when I'm allowed.

Apologies, I must have missed that one. However, it is no hardship seeing it again.

Derventio is the name of the Roman town that was once at Little Chester in Derby, my home town.

Ah thanks, the Romans must have lacked a little imagination. My home town, Malton, was also known as Derventio in Roman times. It lies on a (different) River Derwent.

And here's a curio, an E220 registered 4 years after production ended. Absolute pov spec but manual with aircon means this one is likely to have been an Indian built model re-imported back to the UK (I think they were CKD kits assembled in India after they went our of production in Germany). Looks immaculate but MOT history is rather worrying.

Are the tyres directional?

Couple of cheap Range Rovers soon to be available around Windsor I suspect.

Would normally hope for a bank holiday, but in covid times I'm not sure of the benefit.

Tattyish clk55 up on eBay, in the description “ I am from Leicester but my name is Dean so you can bid with confidence.” I cracked up at that :-)

Yes, looks like the offside front and nearside rear should change places.

No service history, mismatched doors, front bumper and headlight out of kilter, chavtastic alloys (with wrong front offset or width) and Barried number plate. Sorry, but this one is screaming all kinds of nope to me.

Don't think we've had this High Peaks and his new project barge.

I'm fine grazed knee, insurance on a cheap push bike you'll be lucky 85% of them round here don't even have bloody lights that's even if you believe the name and address they give you, What riled me more than anything was that there wasn't even an offer to pay for any damage

Oi, I'm a cyclist

I do, however, have insurance.

Nope, my commuter bike was £2500 back in 2011 and my other bike was around £7k in 2018.....i still can't believe it cost more than the LS460

You could have got a proper bike for that, you know, one with an engine. It'd save all that pedaling as well...
