a covered permanent market in persia hmmm ?
i remember shortly after getting my first Bond i arranged to meet a chap at a little canal side tea shop , in Shropshire i think , he was to get some bonnet badges made from my original and i had it in my pocket . i had never been there before or met Eric before, he and i would be driving modern cars . as i stood watching the narrow boats fuelling and watering i heard the pop-pop of a two stroke coming fairly fast towards the hump back bridge to my side of the canal . i dashed over to intercept this stranger . It was a Bond estate , as he flew past i yanked out my bonnet badge and flashed it in his vision . he screeched to a halt equally astounded. coincidence or what. we chatted for a bit and he and his wife drove off never to be seen again . he was not from the area and had never been there before like myself , i have been to quite a few Bond Rallies since and i don't think he's been there . Eric arrived later and could barely believe it . Truly B.....
