Spotted this Aston in the car park at my local Tesco today. The owner is much braver than me, although it was parked a long way from the entrance and the store wasn't busy.

I don't know too much about them but being on an E plate, so 1967 registration, I'm guessing it is a DB5. Stunning car anyway!

That'll be a DB6 I think, you can tell by the Kam tail ?

Lovely collection of German registered Royces spotted in Bury St Edmunds, en-route to a meeting at Burghley.



We went from Stowmarket to Newark up the A1 and back again today, saw loads of lovely Rollers and Bentleys on the way up, then saw loads more on the way home again this evening.

Marlborough High Street delivering the goods on Friday afternoon.

Memphis cop car, an Oldsmobile I think. Rather larger than the space. Reminded me of the the video for the famous KLF / Timelords - Doctorin' The Tardis track which was shot just outside Marlborough, although that was an older cop car than this.



Bristol RE stopping for ice creams.

That front number plate is Shirley not legal?

(Though I will concede it is an elegant solution)

Typical, isn't it? You wait ages for a bus and then a load turn up all at once.

That's how they were originally, Jaguar took a load of flak from whatever the DVLA used to be called but they carried on doing it anyway.

IIRC? It was about flat surface & I think perpendicular ? Obviously it was neither biggrin
Wouldn't it be Department of Transport ?

E&OE was just another feeble attempt at humour.

On reflection, I think it was the Ministry of Transport.

All that ghastly Barbara Castle, 70mph, MoT business.

among the suspects at the Speed Awareness Course I attended in the City of London, there was a grumpy old boy from Northamptonshire who, when asked the meaning of a round white road sign with a black diagonal line, said it meant derestricted. The copper taking the course corrected him, saying it meant National Speed Limit, the old boy contradicted him. No, it means derestricted, I can go as fast as I like. They kept it going until the copper gave up.

Off Topic btw

At least he had some clue unlike, I suspect, most of the driving public.
