I'm not sure my car would be popular in a place like that, it doesn't strike me as the sort of gaff where fans of noisy Japanese coupes would live.

Seems reasonable , if you are minted. I'm not so I'm out as well.

Number 6 has an m reg mx5. Number 7 a jag f type, and number 5 an Audi R8.

Bought my oldest car to date- a 1958 Austin A55 Cambridge. ?  Has been standing for about a year but is now running and driving and will hopefully be back on the road shortly.

[Amishtat]

Keeping your A60?

Yes, one car I'm very reluctant to part with. Had a hankering for something older for a while now and heard about this through word of mouth after the owner passed away in January. Not a perfect example but a straight, honest old thing and a good introduction to 1950's motoring.

That A55 is so....... Gorgeous

Just watched the 'vets' in Yorks. Some one claimed to have silly numbers of Invacars! Glad they're not bothering us on here! {Hides}

So at least one of your neighbours has bad taste in cars then! ?

Most.of them.

Autoshite is accessible in Shanghai. Hoorah! My flight leaves in nine hours and I'm stuck at the airport. Too knackered to explore.

We’re not deemed a threat as our version of the capitalist dream is a bit shonky...

Wow, rent is astronomical!

[Angrydicky]

That Cambridge is seriously charming. Tweed Grey with Cherry Red interior is a lovely combination, it has its original seats and radio as well. Also, correct gear change!

i would have done far better buying something like this than the rotten wreck I bought and subsequently spent thousands and many hours of labour on. It’s buried in the back of my parents garage at the moment - really must get the Royale finished so I can plough on with it.

Hooray. Anywhere to have a sleep? Is that where the Maglev runs from....I'd be tempted by a quick return journey on that.

And in exciting news, the Vel Satis passed its MOT this morning.

I can feel a raffle coming on...

[richardmorris]

any idea what this is?

wasn't a bloke called Simon Mckeown was it?

he is the guy that "runs" the ICR and as such has the ICRs collection of about 20 Invalid vehicles of some kind or another!

and he is Yorkshire IIRC!

(I say runs, he puts on art exhibits with them but sadly does not do much for the vehicles themselves...)

Delish! So far this year I've had Pestle Puffball, wax caps, Shaggy ink caps and I know where there are usually some agaricus, or field mushrooms, similar to the horse mushroom... Yum!

The 406 decided to flirt with me this morning by displaying ANTI POLLUTION FAULT and throwing an EML driving to work this morning. From googling it could be any generic fault, despite me immediately thinking emissions. Way to go Frenchies. Looking forward to digging out my finest* Chinese 15 quid from Amazon obd diagnostic equipment later, it's been a while ?

Did the glowplugs on the BX today and it was a surprisingly not-shit job.

There's a glut of Fly Agaric as well....

Filled the S60 full of scrap and dragged it down to the scrapyard. Nice to have a parking space back!
