Excellent. They missed a trick if they didn't also do a square one.

The sort of thing that a BLMC draftsman would place in the corner of his drawing board and fill up over the Day, with fag ends and Ash.

I am sure my grandparents had a Dunlop* ashtray with a removable tyre? Definitely remember my grandad rolling the tyre as a toy when I was a toddler. I’d actually quite like it as a memento. I have a 2cv etched glass astray to keep all my car keys in .

Braw day today!

 

Was out with @Tickman and his boss today, had a great wander up to the Bracklin Falls in Callander - absolutely stunning, and a new bridge has been installed so you can get to the far side of them now.

Then I was out with the Burd and the outlaws for a meal tonight..

Firstly the pub had this available 

So I thoroughly enjoyed role playing as my grandpa in the miners welfare 1988.

The meal was delicious and on the way home the Campsies looked stunning!

The Dunlop ones were very common in the 60s. My Dad had one. I think they might have been a free gift if you bought 4 tyres or something like that.

My gran worked in a local garage for years ( in the office) so could have picked it up there. I remember playing with this, a black Bakelite / ivory elephant and a giant conch shell they had.

This has arrived in the post today!

Fairly sure no one else has this over here. I’m really hoping to make it to a Zastava meet to see reactions (that are probably going to be no one in his/her right mind noticing or caring)
