Might take a wander up once I've woken after my night shift.
There may be a mk3 Cortina with the keys left in the ignition!

Googling 'garda cortina' gets you loads of hotels in northern Italy and this nice Mk 4.

isn't that that thing that the man from the tip has?
Nooooooooooooooooooooo!!
The Mk3 Cortina is much more classier than that Toyota could ever be!
Wish I'd gone now, but didn't wake up till late afternoon. I will have one 1 day. Just not yet............

Took a wonder up there,

Some stunning examples.

Most unusual was a Ford Anglia with a 2.0 DOHC Vauxhall engine.

A lovely Bedford Three-Tonner - I was sitting in a café in Cyprus when a tipper version, laden with sand, started to overtake a local copper on a bicycle - the rear prop-shaft broke at the front, dug into the road and jacked the back up in the air - the sand flowed over the cab and washed the copper and his bike into the ditch. Great hilarity ensued - until we realised the driver was still buried in the cab, but he eventually released unharmed.

Two examples of 1970s excess.

Some military vehicles were also there - up at the castle itself.

A GMC truck - I think...

It is believed that there may be a tribe that has yet to make contact with the outside world.....
