Good to see him staying within the 30MPH speed limit and not using too much fuel, Grant. Great sound.

Yes He and I were a bit worried when a passer by pointed up at the cameras :shock: ... Luckily I think and hope they are only for parking and being "Big Brother Nosy" as apposed to speeding cameras Kev :wink: :P :P

I just about managed to grab a pic pic of what I think is a 71 Camaro on Friday in Newport whilst waiting for the wife to finish work
It sounded magnificent :D

Parked in a shadier part of Zurich (what was I doing there?). Same whiter than white as the Jensen white.

Can't hide anything with that shade but it doesn't look like there is anything to hide!

It does look innocent (and it is undoubtedly absolutely innocent- I‘m sure)- were it not parked in the more dangerous part if town. It’s all about context, isn’t it? That same car parked outside of a golf club would have been a lot less menacing.

See recently just going out of a night Club in Paris near Pont de l'Alma. Obviously a GT40 replica, (if it was not a replica, then the owner is a mad man) but nice nonetheless.
