Hi folks, as a noob I thought I'd share a bit about my old girl and how I came to be a fan of the green oval :-)
Actually it's real simple, when I was a little kid my grandad had a farm and with it, a Series IIa (or so I believe from memory!). What really stuck in my mind from them was bouncing across a field in a very noisy old truck, which I recall having far too many gear levers, dials in the middle and a couple of rectangular slots at the front to let air in!! Or, more accurately, straw dust which got in my eyes and made me sneeze a lot. Some years after that he got a fairly early S3 Hi-Cap (AAH 33X - anyone know it??) but by then I was already smitten...
Fast forward about 35 years or so.... and I finally bought this:
...that was taken the day I bought her. At Oxford services on the M40. Waiting for the AA (the coil blew on the way home)!! Haven't done much to her since then bar get her running a bit better, though I suspect a lead free head is on the cards at some point. But I have done a bit of laning:
and I'm planning a week's wild camping and some astrophotography in either Snowdonia or the North Yorks Moors in May, while the wife is off on a 9 day training course! Hopefully should have some nice pics to add from then :-)
