Rats!

Rarely see any here.

It's said we're never more than six feet from a rat.. Worries me as there must be at least one rat in the same room as I'm currently in - can't see one!

The perfect table for tonight's dinner!

Just spilled the drinks clicked on that and it did a right flip.

Sorry about that Eric, I posted it from my phone Grrrr!!! Should be OK now!!

What a tediously drab world we are developing!!

We sometimes get the less drab here...

Not bad for a Tuesday morning. The cars came from places as diverse as Spain and Denmark.

That's an impressive array of cars - I can see a few Lambodiddly's, but was there a theme to the gathering ?

This is why I'm not a vegetarian, I'd hate to take food away from them. So much so that I eat a lot of meat to protect their food source.

They'll be Cinnabar caterpillars munching away on some Ragwort - so they're doing good work by eating those down

All very laudable Ryan although I'm sure the source of lots of your meat will feel no such compunction as they munch away

They were almost all de Thomaso, mostly Panteras, but there were a couple of hangers-on

[bobins]

Ah ! I thought there were a couple of Miuras down the line - which would make it a very expensive gathering, but having de Thomasos there only makes it quite an expensive gathering

Wondered what kind of caterpillar this was on the tree outside my house.

A preserved in Amber one by the look of it.

Spoiler: show

Resin, I know, but it looked interesting for a moment

I did spot a very rare site today on my drive home, only just over 100 roadworthy examples on the roads in the UK.

Nice spot Ryan That's a very late one...

[Rp0thejester]

It's one of only 2 left on the road!

It's quite shocking to see it as rare, but looking at the amount of generic SUVs that are about, it confirms my theory that cars are consumables rather than an item for life.

In 2013 I sold a Xantia V6, and the guy who bought it (was well known in Citroen circles) was dropped off in that XM, which belonged to a family member. It was said to be the last XM V6 registered in the UK. At that point it was in mint condition.
