PeverilPeril 3,283 Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 We visited the Indianapolis Raceway museum last Sept and there was the equivalent Mercedes to that Silver Ghost on display. It must have taken me 20 minutes to look at it. Some fabulous machinery there and most of it European. I had to be dragged away.... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MargieH 7,600 Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Rog, I loved the film about road safety, especially the first part as it showed an old-style orthopaedic ward..... no separate rooms, just one long Ward - now that really took me back! And the nurses still wore old style uniforms (but the modern day ones are much more practical!) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The weather was gorgeous, I did trawl up & down all the rows of Bs had a look for you, nearest I found was B43 & B47 why can't they be in numerical order? Tempted by the display of new scooters & motorbikes from MSC. Finished up in the Rodney. http://www.scooters.co.uk/index.php Quote Link to post Share on other sites
siddha 825 Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 I was there in a blue Alvis opposite the burger van I think the B section had more cars than spaces so was down a bit with other B exhibits. Anyway Pianoman found us and we had quite a natter; he had to put up with boring stuff about whit metaling as a guy came round with his card and I will need some doing soon! Great weather and some fabulous motors and bikes. Next year perhaps...……….. if I can keep going. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
