Interesting car spots today (also a lovely old Rover on a flatbed that was all restored, vinyl roof and all, as I drove by).

Fire engine hire? Do they come set fires, I don't know....

A Lotus Europa was the most oddball one of the day.

Nissan NISMO something I suspect is a Japanese grey import

That skyline was being driven very badly by a dickhead who will wrap it around a pole soon

@vwdasher That Europa is @jeffbatt 's speed.
Not sure he's on here much anymore tho.

@Basmitharts @jeffbatt I was just astonished to see one being driven around. Rare thing here and every other time I've come across one it's tucked in a corner at a show.

@vwdasher @jeffbatt My favorite Europa fact is that the guy that designed them went on to get rich by inventing these little workmate work benches.

@jeffbatt @vwdasher What is it like to drive?

@Basmitharts @vwdasher

It’s not really what I expected - rides very nice and seems to have no resistance to turning - very different feel than, say, the MGB or even the S2000. Steering is very light. Visibility is better than I thought it would be.

Needs some more miles on it 🙂
