Hi
In Jan '18 it went to Swanage from the SVR, could it be going back to SVR?

What direction was it going?

I spotted it on the A303 near Yeovil, it was coming from the Exeter/Taunton direction so I presumed it was coming from the West Somerset Railway.

I was standing in the shade in a back street of a little French town near Limoges when a slightly unusual noise made me look around. Coming up the road was a Citroen SM, a car I could never imagine anyone wanting to own, including me. I quite like the DS, without ever having the urge to own one but the SM reminds me of the strange business of the French being hooked on comic strips.

I can't quite believe what I am reading. To my eyes the SM is quite the most elegant and fabulous creation. It's complexity is probably the only reason I would give for not wanting to own one but that is because of my inadequacies rather than a criticism of the car.

You are of course perfectly entitled to reject the S.M. and I respect your opinion; I just beg to differ. Wink

An original green Mini Moke just drove by, on a pre-suffix registration beginning JTT (Devon). Oddly it sounded like it was accelerating through the gears, suggesting that maybe a neighbour owns it.

A grey Fergie drove by about half an hour ago. More recently, a steam enthusiast from this parish and his friend were seen setting off speed cameras in the area ......

Last night on my way home I followed 2 Morris 1000 vans heading up the A303, this morning on my way to work I passed another Morris 1000 van heading in the same direction. The were heading up past Yeovil in the towards Sparkford/Wincanton direction or up into Wiltshire?

Big Healey driver is out and about today. Yesterday, I passed a nearby property, that I think has changed hands in recent times. The garage door was open, revealing an Alpine A110 - most likely the example I've seen driving around here before.

Many, many TVRs passed through the village this morning, every model from Tuscans to Cerberas.
Quite an impressive sight.
