Following in the kilometres of VWP - Holiday Spots Pg19

[barrett]

that FSO is one of the greatest spots in ages!

 

Nice to see the non Gordini-ised R8 too, looks like a nice honest family classic that.

 

Keep 'em coming!

What a beautiful FSO (I bet the motoring writers who reviewed them new never thought anyone would say that!). Interesting grille on the Granada too...

Excellent update, liking the 50 series Landcruisers.

 

The first castle picture reminds me of this place.

But its defensive aspect puts me in mind of this.

There's something very awe inspiring about hill/clifftop fortifications that were built from hugs stone blocks without cranes, lefts jcbs etc.
