Those Trojans do look a bit like an early 5cv Citroën but they're quite a lot bigger.  Also mechanically a lot more interesting.

Due to unfavourable weather conditions, the Sierra and I will not be making an appearance at FoD.

Apologies for being lame.

ADO 70 is a new one on me. The door looks like the swage line needs continuing, but the proportions look great otherwise. Lots of influences from GM and Lancia too. When was the X19 introduced? 

I wonder if this is the same car?

A big THANK YOU!!! to @mat_the_cat, Colin, @Zelandeth and @Prince_of_darkness91 for rescuing the ZX and BMW yesterday. Respectively, they had experienced unplanned exhaust deconstruction and terminal loss of electrical energy, both out on the main highway.

Not a great start to the day, but it all worked out well in the end.

This place etc. 🙂🙂🙂

And thank you for your hospitality. The boat was most comfortable (and warmer than the back of a BX undoubtedly!)

I took a photo of @Talbot finishing off the roof, aided later by @MrsJuular

Nice to catch up with folk on the Friday night, and meet a few more new faces on the Saturday. 

It was predictably raining again when I got back to Wales, although some sun was visible.
