I am somewhat concerned as I thought the car looked quite good !! I'm sure there are tablets for that... there does seem to have been a brown theme going on this weekend though. As for me and my weekend travels, the first thing of note was a completely hateful and hideous Lamborghini Urus (in blue, not brown). Looks like a Porsche Cayenne which has gone under the back of a lorry... which may be the best thing for it. Later on, there was a much nicer grey 81/82 BMW 318, and a much more battered orange 80/81 Skoda Estelle. And on my way to work this morning, a reasonable red Triumph Herald coming the other way. But, keepign up the brown/beige theme and in the midst of all of that... in the same way that once you buy a car you suddenly see loads like, it seems the same applies to models. Having built once recently, I also saw this little beauty looking as though it was in regular use by the condition: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Ghostly sighting in Rutland today, In a lane in the pouring rain behind what was Cottesmore, a WW2 jeep with RAF painted on the panel below the screen.

Whofan Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 It must be metro week, because I saw one yesterday which looked quite tidy. But puzzle of the week is the BL car i saw on tuesday, which was the big wedge shaped one from the late '70's and damned if I know what it's called, wheter or not it's a BL, or a Rover. No doubt when someone takes pity on me, and names it, I'll go "Ooohhh. Massive slap to my forehaed"" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
