Alpine Sun

Dappled sunshine this morning and spitting with rain tonight - dashed to work in the Alpine.

Also Golf back with a small bill.

Euro Boxes and Mad Man

Three days away in France and mostly Euro-boxes. Only highlight was this mad man in the Cobra on the way home.

No Classics

As rain lashed down on the drive.

Towed the Golf into the garage - a bit hairy.

Skip Day 2

Well it's still a good car - even though the Focus is a shit heap.

Using a Rolling skip

Or Ford Focus to give it it's proper name.

Sunday - Drive it Day dash

Quick dash in the sun to show off the very clean car.

Then down [and back] to Portsmouth in the trusty SAAB.

Saturday GTi disgrace

Tried another trip on the Gold after finding the fuel pump seemed to work. wend to a couple of miles before dying.

So towed home again.

Trains and Stops

Parked at the wrong spot - stopped at the wrong station and ended up going backwards.

No car action after yesterday's GTO-fest.

You wait all week then...

Two come along.

Highlight - Nick Mason's Ferrari 250 GTO on display in London.

Low light - the Golf broke down so we experienced the first tow of the season on the first fixed bar I had used.

Euston Road

Glad I'm not driving a classic around London in the rush hour - but I do fancy a night drive.

SAAB and Rain

GTO to go

I made do with the Aston in the sunshine.

Still feels like million dollars driving it though. This one went for $20M a while ago. Well there are only a few of them around.

Aston dash

And that was all.

Alpine Out and About

Cleaned, polished and driven about.

More April Showers

More like a weather report this week but scattered showers and cold weather are not friends to the classic car.

... and Thursday

Cold again too. Not classic weather.

Wet Wednesday

Well predicted at lease so missed out flash cars.

SAAB again

Back to work - back to SAAB - hard to get anything else off the drive anyway.

Just Rain

Too wet for classics - too dreary for anything else really - so Black SAAB modern.

A Squared

So two Astons in the household today - nice.

Alpine back in the fleet

Collected the Alpine in the sunshine from the Fens.

100 miles - drives like new - e.g. a 52 year old car !

SAAB four

Four days on the trot. Sun shining against the odds.

Collect Alpine tomorrow.

SAAB splashing

Wet day

Cold Returns

Planning on the SAAB all week - as rain and cold returns.

Trusty SAAB

Reading about more monitoring in cars to cancel your insurance if you go above 100 mph.

Old cars have got to be the way to go.

Blue and Black

Blue SAAB - Black SAAB trips
