Note that the '53 Caddy had a modern alternator and an electric cooling fan added. Seems that not only Jensens have problems in this area!

As it approached i thought 'nice car' but as it went by, with blacked out windows, i then thought 'drug dealer'...albeit one with some culture and refinement...

GROAN -- even this colonial got that one.

BTW, is a Welsh Tug O' War called a Taffy Pull?

Does this belong in Unwanted Heat? Enquiring minds want to ... Ooh, Doughnuts!

Why is it that whenever I start up a perfectly reasonable thread some lune
(several lunes in this case ) hijacks it?
What the hell is taffy-pulling for God's sake?
Sounds like gross indecency in Snowdonia to me.
AND don't any of you dare to try and bring up that incident with the policeman, the torch
and Mary the Marino sheep. Anyone can make a mistake and I've paid my debt to society.

Anywho........................
Back on subject.
Not much to report from London on the classic car scene this week but these summer pictures might calm you all down a bit

There's just no pleasing some people. Besides, it's not the lens it's the the d.t.'s.

I think the guys name was Hamilton, quite popular in the early 80ies ...

Back to topic: I don't like the Bentley at all but the Porsche GT is a fantastic car.

Not really a classic though but time will tell.

That would be David Hamilton. I never saw the attraction of the "soft focus" style, myself.

John Xavier was a British photographer who also used the "soft focus" style to excess -- he owned a white Interceptor, or at least used one in some of his photos.

If you suffer from"soft focus" you can get something for it from your doctor or on the interweb.
