Day 3 of class 2...

A Tigra didn't indicate at a roundabout and I cut her off. Also traffic lights went red so I booted it to beat the light.

No, but my dad was at school with him.

 

Rabbit stew was really good.

I finally managed to visit a small garage in Knighton, Powys that catches my eye every time I drive past. Chap was happy to take us around his little collection and talk about them, even though he was really busy.

 

Mostly, it was Rootes stuff, just what Midnite loves. The chap has no fewer than four Crossleys though! I've never seen so many in one place. This is obviously my favourite.

This Avenger Tiger is obviously quite delicious too, even though I'm more a fan of the cooking models.

He has a delightful, unrestored 1964 Imp, a lightly modified Stiletto and this absolute honey - completely original.

He has good period advert skills too.

Different times. I bet even Midnite likes this one, because OMG ITS A LADY!

An enjoyable morning out.

Erm... just looked out the window and compared the colour of the sky to the laptop screen. Sky is Autoshite beige for some reason.

I let a lovely red Italian car out of a junction today and had the pleasure of following a car with carbs (lots of carbs!) and smelling petrol fumes as he burbled along. It was utterly mint.

 

Ferrari 308 (328 possibly) GTB.

I picked up 5l of 10w-40 semi synth oil at ecp for £5.99 + vat, made paying £16 for a pair of wiper blades a little more palatable :)

Had a 350 mile round trip today to bring this beauty home.

Tried it out and everything works including the scope

Look what a colleague of mine found in Braintree just now....

LOOK AT IT.

These new sequential indicators that Audis are sprouting are genuinely brilliant.

 

Not because I like the look of them in any way, of course, but because millions of Audi pilots who previously would never have dreamt of using their indicators at all are doing so just to show off.

I sold one of those just before christmas for 50 quid. I think I let it go too cheap as I had a few people after it.

There's a drama on S4C right now, "Y streic a fi" (the strike and me) set in South Wales 1984, I think it won a Bafta.

 

Anyway, the details including/especially the car are ace so far.

 

Might be worth a look if you've nowt else on.

I got given one and after tripping over the wires and moving it about and realising it took up a lot of space I put it on eBay and got £40 for it

Popped to our local car parts place to get a roll of gaffa tape for door membrane fixage. Grabbed a bottle of glass Polish as well.

 

£20.95 please

I very much beg your pardon?

Tap tap tap, hang on

She goes to get the more expensive looking roll that I didn't go for

Ah, that's the wrong part on the system

 

Tap tap tap

£12.95 please

 

That's better!

I hope they didn't drop a brick through the windscreen of a Cortina.....

I think if I saw that spider in a car if mine I'd just burst into tears and then set fire to it!

Heads off to put a big rubber spider in trigs cortina then knock on his door to offer to do him a favour and buy the car off him "nah mate they ain't worth much with big spider's in"

I think I would enlist Beko to help with the spider problem.
