Wonder if it was the blue saloon I passed on the M25 this afternoon at about 3.30 by J23 the A1, looked in good shape, a toot does nothing when in the company mile munching machine.

Beautiful peat brown traveller in Kimbolton today - never seen a traveller in that colour but really suits it.

Was following a few cars behind a lovely black saloon on the way to Stourbridge the other day - reg 6762HX - anyone's here?

Annoyingly there were too many cars between us to get a proper view - you seemed to be keeping pace with the modern traffic though :)

Two convertibles spotted in the classic car parking area at Shelsey Walsh Hillclimb today. Very nice Almond Green one, prob converted saloon, and an OEW one with duotone interior, further down the car park along with many exotic, rare and sports cars. I got waved into the classic area with my battleship grey 130" Land Rover which was a little embarrassing as its the newest vehicle I own and very not washed and not shiny.... :o :-?
Was easy to spot between the line of American cars and the Jaguar Drivers Club line though :D

Just saw a Traveller driving up Seckenheimerstraße in Mannheim, really stood out from the lines of Mercedes and BMWs! I waved frantically but realised that it didn't make much sense since I wasn't driving mine :lol: I was too slow to take a picture too. Does anyone here own it?

A white traveller was parked in a layby on the A303 at about 9 pm last night (Thursday) headed towards Devon and Cornwall. Going on holiday? I was in my Ford Focus going fast the other way so didn't see details.

Probably Roger Davies from Sheffield - off to another rally I would guess :-)

Returning from a large classic car show this afternoon I spotted a peat brown Minor heading the other way near Witnesham in Suffolk. We exchanged waves. Several Minors at the show including a very nice green 803cc upgraded with disk brakes. Had a long chat with the owner.
