7am - A lovely Smoke Grey Traveller, showing club stickers, joined the A64 York by-pass (AHD 232B) and about 8.15am, a very tidy Rose Taupe 2 door, I think with club stickers on), turning right onto Water End (EOT 347D) :wink:

Love the van. Like Trigger's broom. "I've had this broom 15 years....14 new heads, 12 new handles."
Or something to that effect.

I love the back door advertising repairs and resprays - pure class!
Got a feeling I might have owned this van - bought as a running project and sold it a few years back but with more matching panels, as I had too many projects (still do!). The guy drove it home too.... Seem to recall it went Oxford way

Once again, I saw the 'AVG' taupe saloon in Birmingham yesterday afternoon. Had just passed Duddeston Station on its way towards the old Adderly Park.

I was in Bluey, but sneaking out of a side-road, so don't think I was seen!

I saw it earlier in the week, as I was driving into the city centre past Heartlands Hospital. It turned right at the lights towards Adderley Park.

is something happening in Weymouth today been past a black saloon and a blue saloon about a mile apart. We were in the modern so the drivers must have thought we were a bit weird with a car full of waving kids.

On the way home saw a lovely green traveller.

Considering I can go for months without seeing any on the road (apart from the green 4 door at school) todays been a good day
