I have just noticed we haven't had a picture of the day today so I popped outside to snap the last of our sunset beyond the storm clouds!!:

I like that one Mick, nice bit of photography. My shutter clicking has been a bit curtailed by the going kaput of the Camera.

That one was with my phone as my camera lives upstairs in the wardrobe these days!! I liked the light reflection on the wet road drawing the eye to the red sky which doesn't show up too well I'm afraid!! :-D

Trip to Yorkshire, fuel consumption. That includes two trips up Sutton Bank!

I wasn't trying all that hard Mick, I went over 70 mph several times :wink: They are a fantastic engine, I didn't get that from my 406's and they were lighter. If you thrash them the consumption drops really quickly though.

We did a bit of a diversion to Stanton Le Dale while in Yorkshire, met up with someone many will recognize. One of the nicest, kindest, most genuine people I have come across, very unusual in this day and age. These are a couple of my favourite cars in his collection.

Unfortunately Bob and I did not have enough time to wait to meet Derek during the September Stroll but I have exchanged emails with him on a few occasions and I agree with your assessment 100% Peter. An exceedingly genuine chap and one who I hope to buy a drink one day!! :)

Went for a wander round earlier and on my way home spotted this:
AA270444.JPG
It is five hundred yards from my house and I can't recall ever seeing it before, although it is on the way to the school, shops and my son's house. Must have passed it hundreds of times.

I thought they were all gone by now.

No. You have to be a fan of a certain TV program to identify it.
