low-cut dresses and W 123 grilles

Crashed for a while and then got out to get something to eat.

Went to a village square-food court with shops and stalls. Immediately can tell the US girls from the Brits: the locals all wear low-cut sundresses and blouses !

I asked one of the older local guys about it and he told me: It's August, they always do that because of the humiditiy!

Note to self: Only visit Britain in August!

I asked about car shows etc and was told I might be able to attend an auto-jumble aka pre-planned flea market, if I hurried.

Got there too late to see much (didn't have to pay, was there 10 min before closing) although one guy had an excellent 123 grille. Like everywhere else, 123s are everywhere.

I did find out something I didn't know: Cars that spend more tha two months in the impound lot are not seized and auctioned, they are crushed, no matter what condition !!

Makes me wonder what has been crushed in the past that otherwise could have ended up in a junkyard.

Weather here is chilly at night after sundown, a refreshing 48, different from the hot humid weather in Michigan.

But by 9:00 am it gets as warm as it's going to be (unless it rains).
