Well Peri, that particular Pegaso is a new one on me. Was it just a design exercise, or did it make it into production?
The front end reminded me of a Borgward from that era( Isabella ).

The red car in the second pic is very pretty. What is it?

You certainly get around in your little boat! But surely not 4 up? confused

That Fiat must have been a right nemesis for the dyslexic punter....

There was about a dozen Pegasos at Autoworld,most had that front end.
That one was a one off called Thrill.
It's beyond gorgeous,I could have looked at it all day but my parking ticket expired at 11.49 so had to move it to the second thing.

The r ed thing is a Bizzarini ,but not one I was aware of before,an open barchetta body n stuff.
It was on my fave stand there.
Next to it is an orange Lamborghini Espada and a yellow Pantera,that I initially thought was a Venturi,yellow Gallardo,a Monteverdi,a ISO Rivolta ,a Rothmans rally 911 and a nice old van.

so near my workplace there's always a homeless person sat down against the wall of some information map thing. Noticed this morning when i got off at my stop that he had a small broom and was sweeping the area around where he had placed his stuff...
Are you absolutely sure he's homeless? Sounds like he is just another council employee cracking on with his job in the normal way...

Did he have his hi-viz on?
erm no Hi viz. but he has been there for a long time, it's pretty much his regular spot during peak times, sometimes gives out copies of the evening standard with an 'official' newspaper trolley full of papers beside him.
Definitely Council. The correct thread is down there somewhere. V V V V
I'm not sure a chav would have the mindfulness and decency to keep an area clean though. chavs are meant to be inconsiderate. this person doesnt say a word, doesnt demand change etc.., will just sit there and mind himself. ive seen some people give cash or coffee/breakfast and he was always thankfull.

There was a bloke begging in the traffic queue in centre of Brussels this morning.
He didn't seem to be getting much.
Due to my "navigational difficulties" I passed him twice......drivingdrivingrolleyes

Yes Brussels can be a nightmare. To make matters worse, they keep changing it. irked

Compounded by the fact that my satnav was about 4 years out of date last time I passed through. rolleyes

seven is too early to be woken by children on a Saturday morning. Even if they're your children

I'm going to try going to the garage and taking out my faulty idle shut-off valve. Then driving to VW Heritage for a new one. Hopefully they'll get the hint, but if they're still here when I get back I suppose I'll have to be resigned to the fact I'm stuck with them
