Hi
On the M40 this afternoon near Gaydon,, on cruise control at 60, (sat nav speed not speedo) I was overtaken by a very nice looking blue Ruby.
Unfortunately it was on a transporter whiich was also towing a trailer with a modern SUV on it.
I hope it got to it's destination safely _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.

Saw a turquoise "yank tank" on the M60/M66 junct, Simister Island, Rbt this morning
It crossed in front of me as I was approaching down the off slip to the r/bt so I only had a side-on view
It was from the tail fin era but I can't find it in any of my books.
The fins were quite high, looked vertical not splayed outwards and had a definite convex curved leading edge starting around where the back of the rear window was.
Any suggestions? |
Perhaps a Plymouth Plaza?

Was that not the model that was the subject of the film "Christine"?
Oh, no apparently that was a Plymouth Fury.

Are you sure that was "Simister Island" and not Sinister Island?

Hi
Most of the pictures I have seen following this up have had the straight line to the top of the fins which this has, but that doesn't fit with the curves I remember.
"Sinister" is the rhyming alternative name I have often used for it. _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.

This afternoon a superb and presumably newly restored white Mini Moke passed me going in the opposite direction. If was "F" registered and driven open top style without a hood.

I have a feeling I may have seen that one somewhere around (old) Monmouthshire in the last week or two now you've mentioned it. |
