I attended the Princethorpe College annual P.T.A. fête, at which there was a classic car event. My Daf met a friend....

Nice Impreza. Wonder what it’s like underneath, mine looks as good as that from that angle / distance.

Traveller site nearby and the old guy on there has these - I missed the White FORD - will get it when I pass later. He was a decent guy and happy someone was interested in the old girls..... He's put a lot of work into them.....

This is almost finished

and this is on site carthorse duties but the handbrake recently gave out

and one of the larger bits of detritus cost him the rear tyre on this one - new tyres were piled up outside his shed awaiting fitting

it had a HUGE slab of marble in the back too - with other building detritus. They all earn their keep for sure.

Some high-end Sapphires.

Also, got a slightly better pic of the Fiesta Turbo at the end of the street.

Says it's only been out of MOT since November, surprisingly.

The rampant bootlid rust suggests things are less than fantastic below the surface...
