Nearly three weeks in and almost no rain. Just a little overnight on Thursday and that was it. I'd love to move ! :D

Great photos indeed, and a cool collection of metal. I remember the TVR Tuscan being launched, and it just seemed otherworldly, and like a spider with those little lights stacked up. Then keith Flint bought one and that kinda confirmed it!

And yes, doesn't the weather make all the difference. Really makes nice cars pop.

The green TVR reminded me of a grown up version of my own MX5 ! If only I had that engine !!

Nice pic of the van. And glad there are some MX5s on the road.


The white Golf.... is he giving it full beans, or does he have a couple of bags of coal in the boot!!

Well spotted ! That was an exit from an ascending hairpin bend so he was giving it loads. It was a nice car too !

I believe it's a Renault Rodeo Steve ? The Citroen looks to be a tad different with more distinct panels. I had to recheck on the net myself !

oh wow so it is, sorry! Didn't know about these, based on the R4 van, haven't driven a Renault 4 yet (on my list), looks v.similar to the Mehari.
Now I need to find a R4 to drive ;-)
