Hi
M6 southbound this morning.


Then a dark blue, pre-war, Bentley with a sporty looking drophead coupe body on the M25 near Woking and a ratty looking brown VW Beetle in Tamwworth this evening

An immaculate Moggy 1000 Traveller, in off-white, was spotted during today's school run.

Hi
Not old but definitely interesting; a DB9 Volante let me in to join the M66 and then followed me off at the next junction in Bury

Caught a glimpse of an old van, I'd hazard a guess at it being a Morris J, heading north on a trailer along the A4042 just outside Pontypool about 2 o'clock this afternoon.

Yesterday evening just after 7, a small group of ageing mods on scooters going past Asda in Brynmawr, again heading north.

Hi
A very tidy turquoise and cream Royal Enfield single went down the road in Darwen this afternoon, it was qujiet and seemed to have a smallish lump under the tank so I think it might have been a 350cc unless it was one of the early Indian 250s.

Passed a lovely light blue Ford Corsair driving through Taunton on my way home tonight.

Passed a very smart minibus/coach parked in a layby today, green and cream. There was a sign in the window about something to do with royal household usage. I suspect it may have been en route to Llandudno for the big show taking place over there.

A quick search online brought up the self same vehicle, a Bedford J2 from 1966.

Spotted a steam train (just) from our bathroom window not long ago, heading in the direction of Shrewsbury. Which loco it was I'm not sure without checking.

Yesterday around lunchtime I spotted another group of mods on scooters at Aust services, then later heading over the Severn bridge eastbound. I wonder if they were the same group I spotted in Brynmawr a few days before?

Hi
Not sure which route that would be, but there are 2 today involving Crewe.
60163: Leicester--Crewe-Holyhead-Crewe
34046/46100/70000: Crewe-Shrewsbury-Hereford-Cardiff and return
and another possibility
7029: Dorridge-Wolverhampton-LLandudno and return

UK Steam is not showing any times for these 3 trains

On Sheffield Road in Chesterfield earlier, a Triumph 2000 Estate in dark blue reg. MAN *** F (I think!); a very good looking car.
