I suppose it's horses for courses.

As the long time owner of an Austin Swallow I have come across other owners who think the little car should be regarded as an early form of Jaguar while others think it should be seen as a luxurious Austin Seven.

Personally, I am happy to embrace the association with both marques and their respective histories.

A large red American convertible passed me today, presumably going to a local gathering. I didn't go as I've been running the fuel down in the Vauxhalls ready for winter.

I think there were a number of gatherings on yesterday, a local Ford Sidevalve club gathering, the Cheshire Run (lorries), a local pub breakfast meet, and a road run that called by another pub a little further away. Thankfully the weather was good yesterday, unlike this morning ...

The Tour of Cheshire rally was last Saturday as well, I saw a GT6 parked up in town on Friday night that I've only just remembered. They weren't giving out spectator information this year so as to not encourage crowds.

Dad's Minor was outside when I called by in the 164 yesterday



Also spotted a 190SL (Pagoda) in a supermarket car park.

It was on my way out of work in Ilminster, only caught a glimpse of the reg and thought it finished something like 'DBX'?

Early 60s faded green Minor spotted on a recovery truck, plus a Mk2 Mini Cooper driving along.

Maroon Jensen CV8 behind me this morning, presumably it was on its way to the local event at the Heritage Centre.

I've just seen a gold-coloured Renault 16 on the back of a beavertail transporter of some type. Unfortunately my dash-cam doesn't want to give a usable photo of it as it was moving across my field of view at a junction.

Spotted a lovely Land Rover Series 3 swb soft top being transported this morning. Very good condition, looked like a recent restoration.

Couple of gems spotted in Ludlow at the weekend - a BMW 2002, and a Model A en route home from a trial (Cotswolds I think), hence the mud.
