sawdustman Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I went to Stockport looking for a new pair of shoes this afternoon. Thought I'd get a bargain cos it's the sort of place where trackies and trainers sell like hot cakes.Whilst walking past the steep road up to the old market hall I caught sight of the rear quarter of a Volvo P1800. There was music playing, and I could just make out a Zephyr/Zodiac.Sod the shoe shops for a bit, I'm having a look at this, I thought. Here's the Volvo I was on about: There was a Trigger's brush-spec Austin a30/35, loooking ready for Goodwood An MGB parked in a manner you often find MGB's A Mk1 Cortina Super Forward control rocking horse shit An Allegro estate parked in a manner you often find Allegros A very well cared for Triumph 2000 next to a similarly well cared for Austin 7 A pristine Bel-Air Next to a couple of Crestas it inspired, complete with free photobombers. No idea Ok, slightly less than no idea D'awwww Not sure why it's wearing dartboard rims, but nice nonetheless Non-rusty Magnum Late model Dolly A Cortina estate And a Trevor. There were mods, too. And some rockers A Moto Guzzi V50 This Triumph Trophy sounded great This BSA M21 600 sounded even better All in all, a pleasant diversion from the drudgery of trying on shoes and fending off sales urchins. For those of you who I've not bored to sleep, here's a bonus pic of a Francis Barnett outside a pub in Altrincham yesterday.

Tadhg Tiogar Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 My favourite is the one with a sports direct branch closing down! …..probably because they're moving to larger premises elsewhere in town? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
