Five Minors in 11 miles! Once a week I drive to the Suffolk town of Bungay where we do our weekly shopping; there's always a snowberry white Traveller parked outside a house in the next village, then pale blue saloon parked in the village after that, but when we got to Bungay we saw a maroon Minor van coming out of a side road, then half a mile on we saw a dark blue (I think) saloon coming towards us, then in the carpark of the Rainbow supermarket was an almond green saloon. Waves were exchanged with the van and dark blue saloon drivers. With our 4-door included, anyone taking the same route as us at the same time would have seen six Minors! :D

Anyone see the BBC4 program the other evening 'The Yorkshire Dales On Film'?

Quite a few shots of John Noakes driving around in a convertible with Shep sat up the front! Didn't get the number plate but program is probably listed on i-player.

Saw a white 'G' reg Traveller with a Charles Ware sticker in the back driving along Hartington Road in Chiswick at about 7.30 this evening; and then immediately afterwards saw a very nice-looking white 'F' reg Saloon turning off the Lower Richmond Road. I was unfortunately a passenger in a Vauxhall Astra so couldn't wave. :(

Light blue Traveller (spotted really on Saturday evening) outside a restaurant at Liffré near Rennes, Brittany. Met the owner a Monsieur who bought it from another Monsieur who imported to France. Has been totally restored here in France, new wood metal panels etc. Nice job.[frame]Image[/frame]To the right is a 1960s Simca. The Traveller will be featuring in a short film to go on French telly some time in the future.
