Wot Hobbits drive

[start]

I intend to do a bit of wandering round Hobbiton with a camera, trying to look like the hordes of tourists who infest the village
but secretly taking photos of what is parked in the streets.
First though, a visit to see Jon of this parish and see the contents of his stable.

His garage with only 2 cars in it

Then out for a Fiat experience


Empty road, downhill sweeper then power on up the rise

Will go faster

Back home, Jon tells me prev.owner had a towbar fitted - and the electrics still exist

Thanks jon I thoroughly enjoyed the drive

And some pics from the depths of my camera

Scruffy Peugeot, actually in good nick except for want of paint/washing


Mitsibishi Magna

Mazda Millenia


Toyota Levin I think. (wise photographer always takes a note)

We ALL know what this is

Honda with wheels

If we had them here, which I expect we don't, I doubt I could see one of those Mitsubishis without saying, HOT MAG-NA

An evil station wagon??
I am certain we didn't get them here - in fact it's a new one on me - is it Galant based?

Also, ace work on the 500 trundlings, looks much fun.

I am not surprised you don't know the Mitsi. It is the estate version of the Galant, I think they were an Australian designed and built model, not even sold in Japan.

Oh. That doesn't sound too promising. Has Barrett been to visit you or something?

I touched a Fiat 500 yesterday, maybe is sent a transmission to its antipodean cousin?
