I saw what I thought was Ashleys car today, it wasn't Ashleys car though, at Merry Hill. I was much excited when I passed it in the car park, went to get some petrol & then was on my way back down to have a nosey when I saw it coming the other way!

Black with red pinstripe, brown leather interior. Waved, of course :)

Blue traveller coming past Tickton near Beverley at around 11o clock. I was with my mate in his Volvo v50 so I didn't wave.

Saw 2 Travellers around Salisbury this evening.
A Bomb Disposal Coloured one heading south on the A338 at about 17:30 & a Black D Reg parked outside the law courts 19:00 ( I then looked in my garage to complete the hat-trick :wink: )

Drove in convoy with a black moggy up the A449 yesterday morning, and then came across him again today :) cheered me right up - I was on my way to an exam this morning :-?

I think it was an E plate..., peeped, of course (the horn is working again, the nail file worked!!)

While driving my 1000 yesterday in Ipswich a Minor pick up had to stop at a roundabout for me. It was grey (I think) with a varnished wood truck body set rather high up. The number plate was 4 numbers then two letters. As I was negotiating the roundabout I was unable to study it carefully but it looked in very good condition and probably in business use by a gardener or tree surgeon or something. Quick wave and that was it, never seen it before.

Heading out of Leeds through Guiseley this lunchtime, saw a Teal Blue traveller coming the other way. Didn't get the reg, but exchanged waves with the oldish gent who was driving.

Followed part of the Veteran Cars London - Brighton route between Redhill and Crawley on the A23 this morning. Among many interesting classic cars were several Minors: A grey four door travelling north waved and flashed his headlamps just north of Horley, a very smart B reg Black saloon with a wicker picnic hamper strapped to the boot was parked at Salfords, and a blue Austin badged Minor Van was forming part of a display of RAC liveried vehicles at Petridgewood Common. Good to see so many interesting cars out and about, and brought back memories of the much missed MMOC London- Brighton runs of years past.
