outward bound

wow its been some time since my last blip! i have been very busy with work, and on the house, but i have just returned from a 10 day break, so here is my backblipping to share with you.
i took this snap at taunton deane services whilst going down to newquay. this is my most recent purchase, which was made purely to do the holiday in. its an '83 austin mini-metro hle, with just 24k on the clock. i actually owned this car about 18months ago, and regretably sold it. less than 1 week before this picture was taken it was still in storage, with flat tyres, a fat battery, no fuel, no MOT, and no tax, but it came up for sale and i had to buy it back!
it fled through its mot, and with only a few miles testing i took it straight to newquay, pretty brave eh! its is 30 years old!
