Nice early start for me today, train is in an hour and a bit. Hopefully Storm Bert isn’t too feirce today!

Poo Count: 1

Chodspeed good sir. Berty jeopardy adds points too. Is it a high sided single wheeled luton?

Thankfully not, it’s 61 years old and “aerodynamic”

As much as I would love a 95 or 96 unfortunately it isn’t one. It’s British built and I’m driving it 220 miles home 😬

[adw1977]

British built, 1963, aerodynamic?  Does not compute!

[calebaaront]

Train station achieved! Obviously I had to make a quick drink stop on the way. Now for 5 hours of trains and thankfully no going through London!

Triumph Spitfire?  Rover P6?  105E?

[barefoot]

E type

[calebaaront]

Running an hour behind due to a bit of a tree on the tracks at Reading so I took a walk into Eastleigh and got a coffee to make me feel better

Still blowing hard here in London.

Neither would the Ami 8.  A few Ami 6 were assembled at Sluff, though... 😉

[calebaaront]

Now on a completely different route and had to buy a new ticket, going through London to catch an Avanti to Stoke. The CrossCountry was cancelled. New ETA is 15:26

A Standard collection? 

[jonathan_dyane]

Rover P4? 😅

[Dyslexic Viking]

British built and from the start of the 1960s and aerodynamic.

A Minor that's been leveled/run over by a steamroller?

[tooSavvy]

Well...... If it's BLARG then you shouldn't have *much trouble finding a branch to beat on it with...

Bon Chance

🚙💨

[calebaaront]

Note that I put the fact it’s aerodynamic in quotation marks 🙃😉

[Dyslexic Viking]

Bedford TK?

[wuvvum]

Ah, OK.  I was thinking very early P6, but now you've pointed out the quotation marks I'm going to go with one of these.

That would be awesome

Tackled the Underground and now finally on my last train.

Wind dropped now here in London and temperatures up - really quite warm. Hopefully we are over the worst of it for your collection.
