Saw some great chod today, first saw this nice pair:

Then I came across this garage which specialised in Italian classics:

First time I had seen a Montreal in the flesh since Motorclassica:

My favourite however was the Fiat 130 saloon they had. A local car that a guy had inherited from his dad after he passed away, now being worked on to get back on the road:

Coming back home I then saw this very nice HK Brougham...

I really dislike the concrete sections of the M25, Ga dunk, Ga dunk, Ga dunk, Ga dunk, Ga dunk

Driving a DS helps.

I can remember driving home after a gig, about 3am, it got really hypnotic. I wonder how many 'driver asleep' accidents it's caused.

Since we've got a dog I've found some local chod less than five minutes from our house. We've been here eight years but I'd never walked up these roads as they don't go anywhere.

I don't think Chieveley understood what I was trying to do here. 

The Transit I had seen from a distance. Having a dog gives you a reason to wander nonchalantly past these things. It looks even more impressive* close up.

Try it non stop for 8 hours driving from Iowa City to Lansing...I was about ready to throttle whoever thought concrete slab construction was a good idea.

Bonus points if you get them both 🤔

I want to say Lotus Esprit, but not with 5-stud rims. Hmm, maybe a TVR 350C 350i? And some kind of yank-tank, Ford LTD maybe?

Not spotted much recently as I don't get out much but thankfully this came to me as it was parked a few doors down from my house.

I think it is an Esprit, and is that an Opel Rekord? Are they 'local'? Never seen those before and I've driven most of the lanes near Horsham

Later Esprit wheels are five stud. Probably started with the turbo.

I'm on a 10 day self isolation because they changed the rules halfway through a holiday. It was worth it though. As per usual Corralejo delivers the goods:
