Riding a Brompton with a power meter.
Fuck's sakeI gave away my red 2CV when it broke down about 20 years ago. Now, when I'd like another one, I've seen one for sale at £12,500 cunts

A 2CV Safari recently sold for nearly $100,000 at Bonhams.

But, looking on the bright side, you're avoiding having to travel round in something that is quite incredibly dangerous in an accidentFuck's sake

Riding a Brompton with a power meter.
2017 911R. 500bhp from a NA 4.0 flat 6 and a 6 speed manual. I'd have one if I had the money (and I'd bought a 918 in order to qualify for ordering one).

Why do people seem to think that London is permanently gridlocked?

Because it pretty much is.

Only at certain times in certain places. The vast majority of it is perfectly clear most of the time and easy to exceed the speed limits in.
There's nothing like a 100mph burn down the A40 provided you know where the cameras are.

pretty antisocial driving but I think this shows the mustang can hold its own with super cars.

This is a terrible way to go about demonstrating anything.

That's a Hereford registration. Most likely supplied by Ravenhills Ford, Commercial Street, Hereford

It's some way from home in that case - the photos were taken in Hull!

The GAZ Chaika. Those hooded headlamps and rock and roll styling in a country where rock and roll was not allowed......

Reaching out
Driving around Wandsworth yesterday, the only time I got near 30mph, was in a very short cul de sac. Most of Wandsworth was at it's customary standstill.

+2S was not the Elan, it was a variant. A friend had one in pink. Great car, till he ran it without remembering to put a cam cover back on.

Reaching out
Looking through this thread really confirms that despite all the gadgets, technology, power etc. Modern cars really don't cut the mustard. People have posted pics of a humble mk1 escort, much maligned lancia's and Alfa's through to 1930's Bentley's and classic Ferrari's. No wonder classics continue to appreciate.

Modern cars are fine. Classic cars are special by their nature: not many left and usually only the most interesting ones got saved. Roll on fifty years from now and some fairly ordinary cars will be interesting to someone. Conversely I'm sure the Mk1 Escort wasn't that remarkable at the time.

Except most classic cars are horrible deathtraps best sent to the crusher. Give me a modern supercar anyday.

One of them is the aptly named Dud, but who's the other actor? He's very familiar but I can't place him.

No, 'fraid not, it's in the hands of an expert who's doing a lovely job with it.
It's been a trial though, the first person working on it decided to go and work for a racing driver and not let me know, so it languished under a tarpaulin for months and when it finally got collected, lots of parts were missing.

Difficult to say, the person doing the work isn't the most conventional of people, so I've just left it to him, although I've hinted it would be nice to get it back before the end of July. Not really into car-shows these days, prefer to just get out and enjoy the feel and sound of it.
We're moving back to London soon, so costs are mounting up, and I'm not in any hurry for splashing out on all the other parts that are needed/carbs rebuilt/interior etc.etc. at the moment.
Somebody took this picture of it outside my house a few years back and it ended up being sold as a postcard, which made me chuckle.
