Any Old Iron?
The blog is off with Huttonian to the Republic of Ireland tomorrow for a couple of nights-so any news from the 26 Counties will await our return. In the meanwhile an excitable neighbour has just rushed in to tell us that there were 'hundreds' of veteran cars parked on the sea front just down Bath Lane from our cottage. "Hundreds" were a slight over statement but certainly there were thirty or more on a crumbly outing heading south. I am sure car buffs will be able to identify the three oldies illustrated without difficulty. Too me they are old cars and drafty to boot (no pun intended)
The excitable neighbour asked me ' I suppose you remember driving cars like this when you were younger?' Cheek. I doubt if I can give her more than three years on a bad day. 'Not really' I said 'But I do recall my grandfather showing me some pictures of vehicles like these'
So there.
