A strange thing happen to me today at Portobello rd. I had parked up and was walking down to Portobello to see a client when I heard the popping of a two stroke coming from behind me, expecting to see a scooter go past I was shocked to see a red Schmitt cabrio fly past and disappear around the corner, next thing I know the car had turned around and was heading back towards me. The car stopped at a junction right alongside where I was standing, I glanced across and said Oh, Hello Perry [P50 on this forum], what are you doing hear to which he replied I have just moved in just over the road, "What are you doing hear?" I don't know who was the most surprised to see who! :D

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.....

These strange thing do happen!
Portobello mkt is mainly an undercover market consisting of many arcades, I assume you have never been there Richard, and there I was thinking you the HM would appreciate my little play on words! Disappointed! ;) Big Al would have got it! Speaking of which, we haven't heard from him of late, hope he is ok.
