It's Summer already.Spring was six weeks late.
Summer is a month early; reports of a 'yellow powder' falling all over Yorkshire were true.
It was thick pollen, blown in from the Continent.
The first picture is of another Reliant Scimitar, not the little drop-top from the attempted 1980s revival, but the real deal, the fibre-glass bodied rip-roaring Ford three litre.
And if anybody questions the potency of the Ford, its descendent, with twin turbos, is being used in the latest Noble to produce over 400 BHP.
The taunt in the second picture?
I could see, but you can't, it was a blood-red E-type drop top.
V-12 naturally.
The Jaguar V-12 was said by the Mercedes engineers to be the finest engine in the world.
They stopped using it in the nineties after the XK-8 was introduced; last car to have it was the Daimler Double-Six, a sort of XJ-saloon with extra fittings.
