If you're going to spend the money, may as well find a 3.2 six-speed.

Funnily enough I just saw a red 3.2 as I was sitting by the village pond having a Cornetto.

Sometimes my life is so rock n roll.

I've been decorating the kitchen mixed with looking at photos from the Luftgekuhlt meet on the Universal Studios back lot and from the Petrolicious meet at Bicester. I've a serious case of feeling I've missed out on both.

Oh and that 924 Cargo thing has been for sale for ever.

Lovely day out at Bridge of Allan show today and the weather was VERY un-Scottish which makes a blooming' change! Some of my faves below...



nice ceramic coated side pipes etc

Someone started polishing very early in the morning.....

A pals 996. Its a C4S and it is rather nice in and out. Negotiations have started with 'you've won worst at show'....gotta weaken them 911 prices somehow!

This was lovely, deep blue and caramel interior,

Mmmm Giallo Fly?

[stickylabels]

Definite confusion going on here.....



The whole crew wanted to go so the Cerb stayed behind and the SRT got a run instead. A/C on
for the first time, wee bit of fun in the twisties and 20.7 Scottish miles to the Momentum gallon.
That ain't bad at all. We even got 'papped' leaving!

Brave cornering - I didn’t realise they had the pace to do that. Looks hilarious!!

I saw one of the modern Morgan 3 wheelers out at the weekend which looked like fun.

I joined the PH sunday service at the AM factory on sunday. Brilliant weather, a pleasant way to spend a few hours, and good to give the “thread” DB7 a good run too... happy to report that it’s running very well at the moment. It’s a great car for pushing on along decent twisty A/B roads although it doesn’t like bad road surfaces so much.

Given the prices of other cars, £30k for a 6.0 V12 manual GT seems like a complete bargain too. There’s even room for our kids in the back!

Some great posts/pics the last few days chaps, nice time of year as this is when a) The weather is generally good and b) Car meets start happening.

That Mini engine bay is ridiculous! Love it!

Oh and the Thread DB7 looking and going as great as ever

Couple of pictures from the antiques centre I went to last Sunday for those that are interested

I don't think I got a picture of it tbh

Last one;

There was something about this GT4 that rely appealed. It just looked & sat right (plates aside), wasn't overly shiny, was on the right wheels and was one of the most appealing (and attainable) cars there imvho

I've really grown to like these over the past couple of years. Suspect driving one might divorce me of that opinion, but they're getting prettier if nothing else.

An LSx conversion would make it interesting.

Love that. I bought my 164 Cloverleaf off a guy that did sprints and hillclimbs in a similar looking Sud

As long as expectations are realistic they are actually really rather lovely to drive, if you like that sort of thing, which I do.
