Saw something very old and bright blue, with a boat-tail, in Sheffield yesterday. No pics, camera buried in pocket 🙄

Atoms have been mentioned in this thread before
This clip showed up in the 'suggestions' on YouTube
1000BHP (or 1700BHP/ton.............)

Look at the clip at 03:30, the damn thing's rotating the tyre on the rim
I've only ever seen that, on some (very) heavy-haulage trucks

A neighbour went to work there. Apparently you have to be employed by them for 6 months before you're allowed to drive one.

No photo, but a Ford Consul Capri went past us in the opposite direction on Saturday.

It's hard to believe that it had only a 1275 engine.

Any journey over 50 miles would be planned as a major expedition and would require a full picnic basket and a thermos flask of soup .

I had an A50 in the 70s. Not much good for anything over about 50mph. But when I encountered a Cortina with a trailer, broken down and blocking my route home, the old bus made light work of towing the ensemble to a lay-by.

Can't remember the last time I saw two Austin Maxi's and a moggie traveler in the same place

They have been in the same spot for a good 15+ years and I can't remember what the fourth one is behind the moggie

No photo unfortunately but I spotted a red Audi 100 Quattro at the garden centre this afternoon. Maybe Gene needed some potting compost?
