Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it
...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

Red SE spotted again in Worthing today. I hope she won't mind being called a mature woman owner ?!
It's the same one I spotted the weekend I bought my car - and I thought they were a rare sight on the roads !!

White Elan A5 between Cannock and Weston travelling north today. First time I’ve passed an Elan travelling the other way in 23 years of ownership. Got a wave.

Simon there's a shiny red S2 based in the Crofton area - Dave the owner had it up for sale a month or so ago but may have changed his mind since.
