Fancy Numberplates

Now that's a number plate!
No.1

It was the very first car on the island of St.Helena, my father restored it in around 1955.
The picture taken by a friend of my parents, shows my Father driving with my Mother in the back seat of the Austin 7
which was finished in a "baby blue" with natural calico interior by my Mother.

So you are from St Helena?

 

No, My Father worked for Cable & Wireless & he was just stationed there for a couple of years before I was born (in Hong Kong - but I'm not Chinese)

 

Mustang with "FA57 PNY" - Excuse the rubbish pic but taken off the dash cam and was as close as I could get in my transit

 

St Helena ... Its one of a very small list of places I'd like still like to see. Maybe one day. I quite fancied the boat ride out there on the mail ship, but AFAIK thats all finished now.

 

Bizarre, wife's mother was from St Helena, she's just, finally, visited via a yacht, she too only wanted to visit by boat, due to arrive back in Cape town Monday

 

Made I laugh:

 

Absolutely!
I recall my mother saying quite how dramatic the arrival was by ship, just this huge great big lump of volcanic rock sticking up out of the ocean.

 

Was his muse apparently

 

Not sure about her mum

 

Francis Rossi?

 

Nah, he wouldn't do such a thing, too much for the status quo him

 

I spotted 2007 TT winner Joe blogs today

 

In London…..

Had to be on a BMW

 

Desperate
