Yes, I wouldn't say no to paraffin from a pump at just under £1/gallon. These days it only seems to be available in pre-packed plastic containers at around £9/gallon, and then of course you have the single-use plastic container to dispose of. Progress? |

Hi
Seen today,on the M62 near Bradford a md blue Escort on an H prefix reg, and a grey/green metalic Jaguar XJS near Haslingden.
Both seemed to be being used as regular drivers. _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.
Any 2 from:-

I've just seen an AC 428 coupe very close to home. Silver, with what looked like Eire silver-on-black plates on it. Didn't have the dash-cam on, unfortunately. |

I promised a bloke hanging around, that uses another part of the building, that I wouldn't divulge the location, so if you recognise it, please don't say.

Been spotting some interesting things since moving to Kent, there's a lot of old toot floating about the place it seems. Unfortunately, I'm rarely in a position to get a photograph.
Banham Sprint trying very hard to look like something it isn't.
Commer PB. This must be the first one I've seen in the wild, rather than at a show, since the '90s.

What a timewarp place Rick.
Saw plenty on my way home tonight, what a difference a bit of daylight does.
One van had two Mk1 Fiesta shells up on the back, then I saw a lovely red Austin 7 Chummy driving along and finally as I drove through Glastonbury a beavertail with an orange Dolomite up on the back. _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |

Nearby there's a Mk1 Golf on an M-prefix registration, which presumably means it's a "City Golf" from another country. |

The MK1 Golfs were still made in South Africa up to around 10 years ago, I think had been made there ever since VW launched the MK2 Golf and shipped the tooling over from Germany..
Funny to think that VW were manufacturing the Golf Mk1 & the Mk6 at the same time! |
