I'm not convinced the wing badges were riveted on like that either

If you don't want them to be pinched, leave them at home.

They're probably about 20 quid to replace after he's lost them rubbing trees and ditches.....

Edited so I hope pictures load from the link?

I was following a lovely looking SP250 near Bovey Tracey earlier. It looked very smart in gunmetal grey.

Does anyone know how to upload individual photographs from a Flikr account?

Thanks.

To link to Flickr, go to the Photostream, select the picture in Flickr, then click on the 'Share Photo' arrow bottom right. Copy the link, select 'BBCode', select the size you want to post (not too big) and copy the text then paste it into your post. You can edit it to remove the 'by xyz on Flickr' bit if you want, just leave the first url= to /url pair in square brackets [ ] and delete the rest. Click 'Preview' to make sure you've done it right.

Each to their own but I´ve never understood the attraction

Same with the Jensen CV8 and any Bristol.

Exactly that reason

What? Even the Bristol 409?

I despair.

I spotted this lovely oval dash S2 on Saturday. It was in such a nice thing to see that I have forgiven it's owner for parking 200m the wrong way up a one way street!

No photo but saw a Bond Bug in Woodford just now. Only the third one I've ever seen.

Wife wasn't persuaded by its charms unfortunately as I've hankered after one since having a toy one as a child.

Follow your wife's intuition.

That's the logical thing to do, except I floated the idea of building a Triking as an alternative. Which then required me explaining what a Triking was and why it was a good idea (single wheel at the right end, etc) - it's not, I know but I used to pass by their workshop many years ago, when my parents lived in Norfolk, and have always quite fancied one.

Still don't think I won the argument - she'd rather have a new kitchen ...

Nice to see it being used
Thanks for the wave
Most people don't notice my car

In Bath

Maroon TVR outside the pub the other night, though I didn't have a camera. Might have been outside the church as that's opposite the pub, but as that has a car park I suspect it probably would have been there rather than on the side of the road.

I haven't seen one of these for a long time indeed. I remember liking their side profile and rear lights as a child, but to me, they were always a fairly old car even back then.

At its announcement I thought it was a bit boring compared with the Anglia. Bearing in mind the popularity of the retro-styled Mini and Fiat 500 and the number of Harry Potter fans who must now be of driving age, I wonder if Ford ever thought of a new retro-styled Anglia?
