Black SAAB Passenger

Well - just driven around as it was raining cats and frogs.

Let's Focus on it

Popping to shopping in the Blue Oval

Dull days

Just SAAB again in the rain

Ford Mania

Sorted out the Focus - nice to drive a modern car.

A bit too much mist

Had to resort to SAAB for station run. Misty morning.

Got out Mr E

Sunny day so Sprang the E-type for a run - long way home too !

That's Why I need an Estate

Run to dump in the 95 then a 308 dash in the late sunshine.

Man the Boats !

SAAB to Portsmouth on Saturday then to Southampton for the boat show.

Saw AC Ace and Aceca on the way back.

Autumn Sun

Making the most of the late Summer morning sun. Then popped to Potters bar - but someone else drove.

Not risking it

Rain again and a late night so SAAB action. Well CD player is a benefit too.

Avoiding Rain

Not much to say or - photo. SAAB Time.

Waterloo Sunset

Well Waterloo station again so SAAB commute. But did see some nice metal at LPS.

From dull to Rain

Started out dull but risked the Alpine.

Then it turned to rain so drove home in drizzle. Bad call but warm.

Even more SAAB Trips

Passed 160,000 on the speedo too. Going strong.

More SAAB B&Q Action

Roofs have their place

In the automotive world roofs are helpful when it rains. SAAB time.

SAAB as Summer fades

Just SAAB

More Autumn Days

Drifting into misty non classic friendly days - need more bubbles - October...

River Run

Traffic Jam on the way in but clear run on the way home. Both in sunshine Alpine pottering weather.

Last days of Summer

Captured a warm sunny morning and sped off in the alpine to work.

Then home at lunchtime for the swap before the rain came down.

1902 - 1960 and 1979

1960 Alpine to the country house - spotted this there a De Dion Bouton 1902 - then home and a buzz in the 308 (1979).

Cleaning Alpines

Well just one - and it only takes 15 mins and not much water.

Paintwork looking scruffy.

Went for the drive to dry off - a chill in the wind at 5:00 pm - September all right.

Spot the Spit

Just to the right - in Reading

Alpine to the station

Just commuting again - cold at 07:45 running to the station in the Alpine. Warm at 18:00 running back.

Retro Style vs Real Style

Parked next to a brace of Fiat 500 clones - looked ok I guess.

Final Rays of Sun

Nipped out for a blast in the 308 late Bank holiday Monday - Rain mostly on the other days.

More Swedish Action

Heavy use of trusty SAAB this week. 159900+ miles and counting.

Call Noah

24+ hours of mad rain. Not classic friendly August weather at all.

Autumn Feel

Nipping to Station in SAAB

Ticket Time

Publish Post
Well MOT for the Alpine.

Still needs the top steering bushes done.

Needs a wash - pics make it look clean !

Monday Morning Motoring

Is mainly SAAB - due to storms.

Drizzel

Top coat polishing - on the e-type to an inch of it's life -

and painting chips in red and a well needed vacuum in the 308. But that's all.

A couple more pics up in the garage too.

But no ! a dash to fill the e-type with petrol and back between the darkness.

Polishing

Well moving cards around and washed and polished the E-type and washed the 308 then went for a run in it as the clouds darkened.

Alpine MOT next week - so topped up the petrol.

Anyway - the cars passed on the drive as I swapped them round...

Which goes faster ?

Well if we look at depreciation it's obvious !

Stately Home

Well the Alpine on the Lawn.

A little shower driving home but nothing tooooo bad.

Even though it looks like rain

Got Mr E out of the garage. Still running rich - s0 why would it change sitting in the garage I don't know - but always hopefull !

Just more SAAB stuff

Dodging rain etc.

More There and Back

Just SAAB activity

Italian Dash

250 miles in the 308. Car show and M25. Quite noisy actually.


Odd 1968 Toyota Corona I think - whatever it was the start of the end of British car manufacturing.

Saw this small but interesting trailer. Seen them before - parts of cars used as trailers, but not as caravans...

Soundtrack to the Summer

Getting Car ready for Cranleigh car show tomorrow. Well a blast and a fill up. May even clean the windows. 250 miles there and back I'd guess.

Sounding great though.

Blue SAAB again

Not much other than showers and the radio.

Weekend of the same beckons.

Choices

But Rain and parking at the station convinced me to keep the e-type in the garage.

Trees and Sun

Alpine to Station - cheer up the commute. Always feels odd driving it in a suit.

Popping out

In a modern "popping out" works well. Harder when you have to crank it over to get going and it's hot and it's not got cup holders.

Alpine Action

Quick commute in the Alpine as the sun shone again. Oh Summer warmth and an open top car.

Suffolk Dash

Nipped to Clare by e-type in the sun. British countryside and a classic British sports car.

It does get better - just !

Umm

No Classic action in August rain.

95 all the way

Back lugging loads. But just passenger in 95.

Sun tomorrow ?

Glinting Sun

Summer is ending I saw as the setting sun at seven glinted off the bonnet on the e-type tonight on the run home.

Shadows of Autumn arriving.

Backwards and Forwards and Boris's Bikes

SAAB running for expediency and dryness

Saw Boris's bikes in the capital though.

Another Alpine Run

Dull weather but nice warm drive in.

And I saw a Mustang convertible like the one I used to drive in the US...

Yawn

Just moving between places

Time for a Load Lugger
