Station in the SAAB

SAAB again

James to Portsmouth in the Golf. Got there ok but I still worry - so I gave him duck tape and a multintool !

That will fix most things.

No Classics today

Just a SAAB to Tesco's - "Living the Dream"

Bad day on the roads

Passed three accidents today. Not nice ones either. Better late as we were than in the smash.

This Daimler cheered me up though.

Summer time at last

Classic fuelled weekend. Starting with the Alpine, then Mr E then finished off with the Ferrari in the late sun.

Sun at last

Run into work in the Alpine. Sunny at last indeed.

Great classic car day

But I'm stuck on a delayed train in 80 deg heat.

Thursday 300

330 miles. Early and warm.

Alpine in the Sun

I lie and so did the weatherman. It was cold all day and almost got blown off the Orwell bridge at lunchtime.

Thumbs-up from a lad cheered me up though.

Might have said good by to Aston V12 dreams for a while - time to be sensible.

Alpine gets a look in

Sunbeam got a run out and the rain held off - wind blasted but nice to see her out again at last.

Monotinous

OK - so Another weekend another Aston Martin V12 test drive. Not this one as it was sold.

Learnt that sports seats are not very comfortable and a blue interior is not to my taste.

They had to ask me twice to go for a drive. But the car went very well.

And my clutch is hard work. But my drive back was good too.

Aston Dreaming

Trying to think of reasons why I should not buy the V12.

Back to Ford

Focus time as it was in the way.

Another A Day

Aston again - this time in sunshine - and the long way home.

Habit forming - Another day, Another Aston

The V12 Vantage. What a car.

That's three Aston Martin Vantages in four days, the V8S, my V8 and the V12. It's a habit I'd like to keep up.

Heartland

Today I found myself in Oxfordshire - 15 miles from Gaydon. I wonder what happens there ?

Passed through Clarkson country. Obviously doffed my cap.

SAAB running well towards 200,000 k.

Ok so it's very nice

Saturday run to Milton Keynes - convinced me it was a great car

Sunday back again and then e-type in the sunshine - nice car too. 

Blue Mood

Test drove this V8 Aston Vantage S today. In blue with flappy paddles £100k+ of car.

Paddles worked very well, as well as the Ferrari 430 I drove a while ago. Not 100% sold on it but very quick all the same.

And collected mine - which felt great to drive - and the Focus as well. All in all bit of a hit on the credit cards this month.

And SAAB passed 180k

Friday Focus

Sun out - but Focus as weapon of choice.

Did ride in Golf though to the station.

Focus again

Dull day - but promise of classic action in the next few days.

Shocking news

Aston needs a new shock absorber - coverered by the service plan. Tyre, Disks and Breaks were not.

Focus booked into service too.

Expensive month all right.

Focus on Service

Focus needs a service too - sounding a bit ratt-ley on start up.

Aston in at the moment and SAAB goes in tomorrow.

Expensive month.

Monday Treats

Nigel's Mercedes W124 260E - My Ferrari 308, Jaguar e-type and Apline !

Sort of sun in the sky too.

Plus saw Ginetta G28.

Wash out again

So no Felixstowe classics on my agenda due to heavy rain - so a nice Aston interior instead.

Saturday Contrasts

Aston to Grange for it's service.

 Had a look around their beautiful cars - like the DBS.

 - then a 3 wheeler spotted near home.

Looking for a highlight

Porsche in the car park was best bit.

Train trouble Thursday

No power on overhead lines - so we all sat in silence.

Wednesday Thursday

Focus and then SAAB through the heavy rain.

Sun possibly at the weekend ?

Swimming

Focus through the rain and showers and floods.
