Bordfunker Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Following Saturday's trip to Cornwall with number one son, Sunday saw a trip to Lancashire with number two son. Â Cheshire appeared to be full of Ferraris and naff SUVs, including one of the new Bentley Bentayga 4x4s. Â There were however some decent spots including: a very nice Mk1 escort in bright orange an equally nice Triumph TR4 an immaculate Aston Martin DB 5 a racing Aston Martin DB 2 on a trailer a 50s Chevy pickup Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malpaso Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Yesterday I was driving back to the office from a meeting when I saw a youngish guy on a bike riding the other way. I don't know whether he realised it wasn't just any old "sit-up and beg" as it was a "BSA Airborne Bicycle, 2nd Pattern" aka Parabike! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malpaso Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I saw a Rallye 205 in Padstow in August.  I think it was the twin Weber  1300cc homologation version rather than the later cooking Rallye 205.  And a nice 1.9gti outside a pub the other week.  You’re right that the bog standard 205s aren’t much in evidence though...

bentwaters81tfw Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 Saw one last week, but was going the other way, so didn't see what model it was. There is/was an Inca locally until recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
