Just home now lads. 

 

Cannonballed it from Bury Noel Edmonds to Weatherby, then stopped for Gregg's.

Many thanks to @Semi-C for picking me up, being a gent and for showing me his lovely Cortinas. 

 

Have some pics.

We are now departing Peterbrough. 

Tourist facts.  

If you come to Peterbrough cathedral on the first Sunday after Micklemass with a clipboard and a scarf, the archdiocese is legally compelled to provide you with two wives of childbearing age. 

You must also bring with you a scarf and clipboard for EACH WIFE for the proceedings to be legally binding.

Kenny Lilette seen here with his new wives (Karen and Karen B.) after last year's ceremony. 

 

Peterbrough have a football team of sorts, which usually plays in one of the English football divisions. Never the same one twice.  

Karen of parallelogram is buried in Pebo cathedral; she was married to Henry Cromwell until she wasn't. Her holy clipboard is in the reliquary, on the left under her sister's collection of cat ornaments. LS400s are for winners, especially if they are in Autoshite Racing Biege with matching interiors.

It was always going to be a wrench parting with such a contrabulous fabtraption but I couldn’t imagine a finer fellow to take ownership of this than Mr Bell.

Many thanks for braving today’s inclemency and may the feathers ensure your immortality.
 

Yippee kayak other buckets.

Not too bad for an old girl. 

And any imperfections of paint are more than overshadowed by the amazing gear shifter.

If you disengage the overdrive, and select the PWR setting, even on poor tyres, in the wet, on a greasy surface, it'll still return a 14.2 quarter mile. 

Even with an idiot driving.

I like it more and more every time I get in it.

Lovely old tub this. You can't really beat the LS feeling, Luxury Shite.

I kind of prefer these with the square headlights like this one.

I have to agree, the early mk1s look the best. 

I'm in the strange position of it currently being my LESS luxurious car. The E240 is a good few years newer and feels like it rides better, has more room, is smoother, quieter and provides much more cabin space. 

I'm kind of torn between the two. I can only keep one. 

Ones definitely "cooler" and the other is probably "better". 

Decisions, decisions.

Go for the better one.

Looking cool is over rated and not a factor for anyone on AS! 

You have seen the cars owned by members of this forum. Hell, you have owned most of them.
