So the annual classic car day - it looks dry I'll be keeping an eye out for as many as possible.

Hope you all who have them take them on your drives to work

Coincidentally my GTE 16V is out of hibernation AND I'm giving a work buddy a lift in tomorrow. That counts, right? It's 23 years old.

In the 205GTI today, the only other thing I saw of interest in 35 miles was a Goldwing.

I haven't bought mine to work today, little point as it's only a 1 mile journey, they wouldn't even get warmed up!

I'll get them out this evening though smile

To be fair I do use it a fair bit to commute but it's still special anytime I go out in it :-)

My dad had 3 different Safaris from a '64 red fluid up to about a '73 posh one. I spent a lot of time in the rear-gunner seats smile

I can't find the same kind of love for the safaris, they always seem wrong to me eyes, apparantly they were the popular choice in Britain.

Still having said that they are a thousand times more interesting than ythe modern boxes driving around

I went and pushed the Series a little bit up the drive, with no power, thats all I could do, then drove my french shed to work. I have however, spoilt it with a 200tdi engine today though

Drove the "little boat" to work top down.....biggrin

First other convertible I saw top down was a Bentley about 10 am,followed a minute later by a E21 3 séries.

Saw an oldie in an Austin 7 passing Brooklands and seen a few MGs about too.

Nope, you'll have to take the old Porsche.
