You just never know what you might come across!

Had an interesting day today.
Started with a visit to the V8 Conversion Company in Farnborough Village to pick up some gaskets for the Rover V8. Turns out the owner was consulted in the early days by Nick green when he was designing the V8 version of the NGTC. Gave me some good advice about MGB suspension.
Next we popped down to the picturesque village of Chillam to have a nice quite lunch, only to find the lower car park packed apart from one space, and the village center full of E-Type Jaguars.

Then we found out why, it was because of this gentlemen and his film crew.

This was the inside of the car.

We watched him drive off and then we went for lunch, by which time all the film crew had gone.
We took a nice twisty backroad route to Whitstable only to come across Clarkson again at the side of the road with two E-types and having a fag, we then somehow managed to get between him and the filming Range Rover, which ended up having to pull over to let us through :D

Excellent, and I'd say the pictures could be a contender for 'O' in the photo contest :?:
