Not such a good haul of marks today but

A good few Renault 4s. ( don't see them back home)
1 Series 1 Range Rover
Lost count on Freelanders most TD4s but 1 V6
1 Vauxhall Viva ( paint pretty poor but no rust visible and still going)
And not forgetting
Bus haulage up to top of island in a
Short Wheelbase Volvo bus with
775,000 kms on clock...
Impressive given steepness of island roads

Disappointing MG Rover day today but this evening brought 2 new 25s.
Nice dark blue facelift and parked outside our hotel a mint Rover Streetwise

Perhaps another time. Went to watch and thought.. 'no chance!'
At moment suffering a bit from BPVS ... dizziness ... not a good mix. Thought it cured but back a bit so another treatment to look forward to on return.

Just come back from a week in Madeira. Still some MGRs if you keep a look out. Most numerous were R8 types if which I saw about 8, two 45s, one 25 (derelict), one TF and two 75s. Both Royal blue saloons. One I got a good look at, the other I saw from a moving bus. If you like buses there's plenty of interest, many Volvo B10m, the one I ended up driving was from 1980!

I'm also planning my trip to Madeira, would like some tips. I've used traveljoy customer service for booking flights and accommodations, and I've been impressed with their reliability and efficiency. But I like to explore hidden gems in new countries. So, I'd appreciate you to share some not so popular places without a lot of tourists.
