Just for entertainment purposes Mick, how did the conversation go before you embarked on your mission?

Was finally able to get the poor thing a decent wash today so grabbed a few photos while it was clean.
Was quite pleased with how this pair came out looking.

I'm starting to notice XJS's now.......convertible with the hood up motored through today as I was walking the dog, not quick enough to get the camera out.

Did take a couple of car pics. Bentleys dont normally turn my head, but this was very shiny black with chrome highlights and stood out because the driver had parked it well away from the other cars.

Next to grab the eye was a yellow thing. Not an everyday sight and I am drawn to the out of the ordinary.

Well I struck lucky! When you posted the original reference I was in the hotel alone in Starcross awaiting SWMBO's call to collect her from the hospital, so I just headed off to the box in the hope that I would sort it before she called!! And I did, went on to the hospital and collected her about 10 mins after arriving, so she was (and is) none the wiser!! So this pic is of a bench at The Royal Devon and Exeter which I found fascinating. Various other pics will be posted on appropriate threads but here are the couple for POTD!

Not seen that bench and I've spent quite a lot of time at the RD&E over the last few years.

It's sited to the left of the main entrance to the main building in Wonford opposite car park F if you want to have a look next time Peter. When I first saw it I thought it was carved from one tree but on closer examination you can work out the different pieces, but still a novel piece of work for me!

PS I thought the RD&E was a very good hospital but the signage to find places is horrendous!!

Apparently having lunch in Dawlish can bring a whole new meaning to the phrase "In the pink"!!

Thanks for that, don't know how I missed it. I'm awaiting an appointment now so will look out for it when I go.

You can't find anywhere to park either, if I'm taking someone else I drop them off a then go over to Tesco and have a bite to eat.

Exeter is a good hospital though, I've been in Dorchester and Exeter and I know which one I prefer.

My 1200th Post has crept up on me while I was looking elsewhere so here is my celebratory 1200 picture with a suffix picture as evidence:

Well done Mick, here's a toy for you but the real thing could well have been the perfect car for your form of March meandering....

One of my young customers bought an Escort Mexico, a rebuilt write off, two days later he was approaching a bend at speed just before midnight and his lights all went off, he went straight on into a field and rolled the car several times writing it off again.

Once you've had a good roll in the hay, it can be difficult to resist doing it again...
