OK, so today Seth chauffered me to Stoneleigh in Warwickshire for the NATIONAL RESTORATION & AUTOJUMBLE thingy.
Here are some things that happened on the way...
We saw this Land Rover thingy on the A428:

(Soz for the crap pic, the driver got in the way. )
There was also witnessed a TR7 - Sorry no [pics] as I wasn't concentrating, and some horrible Metro that appeared to be piloted by two professional child-snatchers. No apologies for lack of pics of that one, because, well, Metro.
You may recall that a couple of years ago we attended this event as Sellers, to spectacularly poor success. This year, however it was BUY BUY BUY only and armed with wallets bulging* with cash we arrived nice and early to be greeted by a long stream of cars waiting to get into the place. First obvious 'spot' was this delightfully scruffy ADO16. I had hoped it would have one wing missing and be covered in mud (we don't need a road. It's grass!). In actual fact it was driven by a bearded Mr-Twit-alike, and accompanied by a comedically large dog. Much of the car appeared to be constructed of old copies of The Racing Post and copious P38...

After an initial sweep of the halls & purchase of some JUNK we went for a wander outside.
Good method of tat transportation

That's about it, unless you want some pics of traffic from inside Seth's car, which are quite boring.
Anyways, a nice day out, managed to score some of the things on The List of Bits (and a few more aside), and had the usual pleasure of looking at all the utter oddballs, beards and social retards that this event seems to draw.
FIN.
