Splitting my time between these two at the moment -



Love them both and I'm equally happy driving either, much to the confusion of most people.
That's a lie- the poor Rover has been sat abandoned outside my house ever since the Alfa arrived. I think he's used it once in all that time!

I had a white 216 as my first car!

Never had a 4c though, but there is time!
I had a 214SEi as my first road car, fastest car in terms of performance/engine size I've ever driven, Still vaguely tempted to buy another strangely!!

Rover 214SEi was also my second car (well my Mum's first but I drive it more than she did then mine). Drive much better than the Fiat Uno I had before it.

Not much around recently, but saw a dark blue 1970s 105 Series Alfa, possibly a GTV, parked near the Arnold Clark garage on Whitehall Road yesterday.

Lovely blue Aston this morning (I think a db11)
Wakefield

V800 mjs

Police officer directed everyone down a dead end by mistake meaning we all get jammed

Aston owner does the decent thing jumps out leaves it running with door wide open to walk the 250/300yds to tell everyone not to come down and back up!

Sounded glorious once we all got out of the road just cruising!

Don't know if he's on here but he seemed nice enough

A lot of nice metal out this weekend including a lot of classic stuff out near Beckwithshaw, Fewston etc today. I'm guessing a show was going on somewhere around there?

Red B7 RS4 and a red 458 spider in Batley yesterday afternoon. Black Alfa Quadrofoglio in Kirkstall this evening, menacing looking thing.

The biggest car show in Yorkshire and the north east at Newby Hall. All cars pre 1973 bar the 'future classics' for up to 1994. Good day it was too, must have been 1,500 cars and no chavs or booooming sound systems. Bliss cloud9

Notton car show today. Highlight was the appearance of 2 grand old ladies of the Aston pedigree. A really nice pale blue DB6 and a green DBS Vantage.
Big turn out of TVRs so a couple of pics plus a nice Porsche.



If you're local to Notton, have you heard about the classic car show in Walton this weekend? I'm hoping to find some neighbours with whom I can be car friends!

Yes but when you Google search the first site that comes up is insecure and maybe dodgy.(motoringevents) scratchchin
So this one is best: http://www.workingforwalton.co.uk/

Ooh might pop up weather depending, my better half grew up in Royston so we tend to do norton bonfire and other bits around the area.

Maybe we should arrange a barnsleyish meet up.
