Another one of these cars you see and realise it's been a while. Looked tidy, arches, sills door bottoms and rear valance all present and correct.

A 27 year old Volvo 960 saloon spotted in the B&Q car park at the weekend. Looking in fine fettle for this Swedish barge.

Another, about 20 minutes ago on my way back from lunch. It has a “broken down - back in 5 minutes” sign in the window

Makes a change from just leaving your hazards on, and is completely believable in this case...

You don't realise how big those Ioniq's are compared with other cars until you see them, almost as big as an X3

Compared to the Corsa, it isn't that bad really, especially compared to the more normal local mummy choices, like Range Rovers, BM X5`s, Outlanders & other gigantic SUV/4x4`s I see every morning, usually carrying 1 kid...

It's an illness, called "Dafaddictus"; symptoms include an irrational urge to save as many Dafs as possible and talking non-stop about drive belts and small air-cooled engines!

Well, it's coming towards spring time, the daffodils will be coming up. It's allowable.

And I'll get my coat....!

I think that just went past mine, his tail lights aren't working! (pretty sure I noticed his brake lights weren't working last year as well!)

Light 15 Roadster on the A38 near Rattery, this morning. Not short on power - it was absolutely flying!

I know this car. It dates from 1937. If you want to see it in the metal, along with about 25 other Traction Avant / Light 15s etc, the Traction Owners Club will be at the Lyn Valley Classic in Lynmouth, Devon on June 11th https://www.lynvalleyclassic.co.uk . Here it is at last year's rally in the Lake District.
