Lets see you cars out and about on the street

I'll start it off

came back home on the coast road from Bridport this afternoon and stopped off for a 99 (ice cream to our us friends ) on the way back. Got to be one of the best views in the uk   

you can just see the 11th century Abbey in the back ground and Chesil beach running off into the distance to Portland

Doh I was out and about tonight, but no camera.  I try to drive my Bug and wear my Mark Herbert shirt at least once during Classic weekend.  Mission accomplished.

Trip to Hannover, Germany - 1200km total.

I was lucky enough to cruise some of the trip with some guys that knew how to take cool photos (my car, their photos)

100mph cruising will do that to your windscreen ;-)

Great pictures, everybody... keep 'em flowing, please.

Tom, are those 356 wheels 5.5" & 4.5" widths? They look great, by the way.

Rasser, that's one tough looking beige ragtop that you've got, there. Really dig it.

Thanks Mark - Good eye! they are og KPZ & Lemmerz 4.5s all around, the rears have approx. 1/2" more offset, so they look like 5.5s
you can see the skinny 165s in this pic Grin

Because it was a nice day, and because my other half has gone shopping, I decided to have a little trip out. All of these are within a 5 mile radius of me, some cracking country roads, although tight corners, 145's, a 2276 and bouncy seats don't really go together well  Shocked

First off Harting Down, I was going to drive round the other side of the fence to get some better shots, but I was given some dirty looks when I crackled in to the car park so thought better of it  Grin



Then I paid a little trip to East Meon, I'd say that 75% of the buildings are 200 + years old. Really nice little village, with a cracking pub!





Then off to Butser Hill with views of the South Downs.





Not a patch on Sarge or Fab's pictures, I 'll try harder next time  Wink

Right on, Alfie. Looks like a fun trip. Also justifying ownership of your Cal Looker.
