Wow! Nice!

That Beemer is a bit special. Prefer it to their modern muck...

Weather there was better than ours here. Been dull and overcast all day :( Good for getting work done though..

Jet stream has FOR ONCE decided to land in the right place... across the english channel, where it landed over scotland last year and gave us rain rain rain all year round..

Though, weather supposed to be a bit more cloudy next week, but only couple days rain.. more light cloud..

Oooo....nice weather and classic cars. Good combo! I'm going to a classic show tomorrow at Highnam house.
Will see if anything Chevron related turns up....apart from my XM of course!! :D

I think the Lancia is a Flavia. Might be wrong though. It kind of looks Zagato like too.
Interesting the boot design on the BMW. Very impressive model...can't help thinking that boot design influenced the modern 6 series and 7 series boots though! ;)

That's a shame Jaap :( Hope it's not spoiling things too much...

Indeed it does seem to be behaving itself this year Paul but you know, we could really do with some rain over this way..

My garden is beginning to look like the Sahara :twisted:

I'm going to have to start watering my strawberries soon...
