RREC at Guyers Hotel Corsham

A friend’s in Ellesmere, Shropshire

And mine at an old petrol station near Malvern

I’m not telling Ray, but I prefer MGAs with bumpers and no the the silly Sebring mod.

I wonder how much fuel cost when that station last dispensed it?!?!

(Ellesmere's not too far from here btw)

I remember my dad paying a pound for four gallons from Rees Evans garage in Frampton on Severn pre Suez and his pumps were like that.

Just seen a scruffy twin rear window VW beetle in Nailsworth, it had a rally plaque so maybe an event.

I spotted a two-tone green MG Y type saloon on the way home from work today.

Mortal remains of a 'well past its use-by date' classic mini on a pickup on the A1 tonight. Watching for it making eBay's Barn Find section!!

With the number of "barn finds" on eBay I'm surprised there are barns left with anything in

Saw a green Morgan, and something much older that I didn't recognise, as I was going towards Market Drayton today. Morning gathering somewhere, perhaps, or maybe just people using their classics.

I think the American station wagon is a 1964 Chrysler Newport

As I was heading down the yard this morning to do some work on the Commer I was very surprised to pass a lovely restored Model T, now that's a sight you don't often see. I don't know anyone locally who has one so I don't know how far it had come from.

I think there must have been a ploughing match on around here this last weekend, I have seen many 4x4's towing trailers with some very interesting vintage tractors on behind. One this morning was a 70's Ford 3000, lovely little tractor and a type that I remember being used a lot around our way on peat haulage when I was a lad.
