a VW Golf but before i used a landrover series 3.....but had to get rid of it due to London emission zone......Now Boris at the last minute has done a U turn and given landrovers with seats in the back a reprieve and just by fitting two fold up seats in the back i could have kept using it

so searching for a nice landrover 90 if anyone has got one for sale (200 tdi)

I'm guessing this is a wedding photo, but why is the groom wearing a veil as well?

 

[drstitson]

tut tut.

mozzie nets are very useful for wrapping hives in transit. no need to worry about loose bees in the vehicle so no looking like a t*t in suit and veil whilst driving down the motorway.
