Took it to Italy long ago, Mrs, kids, and a caravan. Broke a rear leaf spring on the tram lines it Turin. :open_mouth: A local garage helped me to lash it up, and it got me, Mrs, and the caravan back to Dewsbury.

That is a cracking pic.
What is that above the n/s headlights ?

The pic of the Austin van brings back some memories. I drove one like that in my late teens when i was a trainee mechanic. Column change and went like the clappers :slight_smile:

A few more as Covid is over and there are no other disasters happened in the world according to the BBC all that is important now is the Olympics, DOH

The Austin Cambridge pickup brings back a memory of mine. As a 16 year old Boy Scout in my last year at school, the scoutmaster, who was the physics and rugby master, took 6 of us camping to Norway. From Stavangar off the ferry all the way up the west coast over the Arctic Circle at Bodo and then back down to Oslo before returning SW for the ferry back home. It was his own car and he had a tilt made for the back and we took turns, 4 in the back on 2 benches and 2 in the cab with him. I suppose the giant tent we had and all our kit must have been on the floor between the benches and under them, but not much room there because of the wheel arches.

We had many adventures, and not all connected with the beautiful and friendly girls in a time when you could admire and complement a member of the opposite ■■■ without being branded as a stalker. :laughing: On one of the many unsealed roads attempting to pass a grader maintaining it we slid sideways into the deep ditch. No damage and no injuries and the grader driver, who had a handy chain available for this, to him normal, occurrence, easily pulled us out. :smiley:

Thanks to pyewacket947v, Buzzer and backsplice for the photos :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: brill bunch Buzzer :smiley:

Judging by the style of the buildings, particularly those on the right of the picture, I reckon it is
somewhere in Scotland. The old type " KEEP LEFT " sign is unusually well over to the left of the
centre of the road, but the traffic, including the motorbike and sidecar look like they must have
gone to the right of the sign…or is it me ■■ :astonished:

Cheers, Ray Smyth.

Having enlarged the picture a wee bit, the ERF lorry has the logo of McEwans/Scottish & Newcastle
Breweries either side of the radiator grill. Cheers…I`ll have a pint of bitter, Its your turn at the bar :slight_smile:
