I keep an eye out for old cars but they are usually on the move and I am too slow to catch them on camera like the Bentley roadster I saw the other day which was gone before I unslung the camera. I...

I am tempted to say Bedord, but at the same t ime, think that is wrong. Those were the days when we made and exported cars. Not any more! Just looking at the chaos, I hope we never change over.

The police car on the crossing appears to be a drawing to me. The rail line nearest to the front of the car does not appear on the other side. It would probably be in line with the gate post. The car...
