Thanks, CityBoy; he is fine and back in school already; the school in his State starts in early August.

Lovely car and beautiful view, MLD.

This was on our local news today. Sao get your check book out.

​​​​​​A car enthusiast revealed today how he was selling off an extraordinary £1million collection of 174 dust-covered classic cars dating back to the 1940s in a huge auction after they were amassed by a mystery businessman at a 45,000 sq ft warehouse in North London over ten years.The stunning collection of vehicles, which has grown gradually at the site on a business park in Tottenham have been given guide prices of up to £25,000 with the most expensive being a 1960 MG MGA red sports car.

Others with high guide prices include a 1975 Mercedes 350SL for £18,000, a 1989 BMW 635CSI for £16,000 and five cars for £15,000 each - including a 1973 Porsche 911, a 1983 Mercedes 280SL and a 1981 380SL.

I’ll buy the white van…but only if they can get it out for me.

D

biminiblue

I'll take that red VW camper van. Dee I think I can help you get the white one out by doing so!

venuscat

I knew you would spot that bim....

Personally, I am thinking that that little yellow MG (is it?) 3 cars to the left of Dee's white van has my name on it.

Vroom.

SoberLeigh

Three of those listed Mercedes already have my name on them; cool beans.

venuscat

Three huh? Sheesh.

Willow00

Bim you beat me to it, that’s the one I spotted too, it definitely would be my pick
Or the MG convertible…

Three Leigh?

Marty, that’s a seriously cute car! You will have so much fun in it

venuscat

Sorry, the MG (if it is, could be a Triumph, we need Sao....) is MINE.

SoberLeigh

1975 Mercedes 350SL; 1983 Mercedes 280SL and a 1981 380SL.

Well, technically, they only have my initials but they certainly must have meant me.

venuscat

Yes....I see that now....they quite literally have your name on them.

Willow00

hahah ok Suze you can have that one, I’ll have this one…

up to £25,000 with the most expensive being a 1960 MG MGA red sports car.

Of course Leigh, I hadn’t noticed that. They must be yours then!

Kaily

Sorry Venus, I already bagged the yellow sporty one. I just forgot to say...



But I remember last week you said you wanted a Fiat, so I think this one has your name on it.

Willow00

They’re so cool Kaily! I still like the VW van the best, although Bim already bagged that one. Perhaps there’s another one in there for me…. I would happily have a VW van AND an MGB convertible

It’s Thursday afternoon and despite the awfully challenging weekend I had, I’m now 115 days sober
And I’m extremely grateful to still be sober
I’m about to go for a long walk. I’ll try to get some nice photos while I’m out.

Kaily

Yes Bim and Dee were very quick with their choices.

Enjoy your walk, Willow. I am just about to go as well, before it gets too hot.

Willow00

Thanks Kaily, I did enjoy it, although it was really windy so I only went for a half hour. It was still great to get some fresh air and exercise. Enjoy your walk too

Morning Weekenders,

Glad your grandson is doing well Leigh.

Interesting collection of cars, that red one is a 1973 MGB GT and the camper van in question is a Westphalia. I was tempted to let you think that was down to my car identification genius but in truth I read the article myself a couple of days ago and they had closeups with descriptions of all the vehicles.

Good Morning Weekenders

I just checked the cars out. Good selection. Enough for all of us

Sun’s up again. I think it’s gonna be a good day.

I’ve got a cough and cold, no idea how. I’ve had a covid test and it’s negative. My head is a bit waffy but what’s new.

Willow00

I really hope you’re feeling better soon Mags, hopefully it’s only a mild one x

I’ve not heard of a Westphalia van Sao, I really thought it was a VW. There you go.

Mags1

Thanks Willow. It’ll pass I’m sure. . I’ve not heard of Westphalia Van either.
