Out & About. Thursday 14th July

(1/6) > >>

Bush Tucker Man:
I was heading into Wakefield this morning in order to call at one of the better newsagents arounnd the area & on Doncaster Road (A638) I saw this (pictured below)

Now I think it's a Carlton Commander, as titled, but I may be wrong. Did Dutton make a similar vehicle?
However, weren't they Escort (or Cortina) based? This one was definately a 4x4
Sorry about the lack of a frontal photo, but traffic conditions dictated a 'grab-shot'


As I was on my way out of the city glimpsed a 110CSW in a car-park, so did a loop round the one-way (just for you all. Aren't you lucky? :wink: )
It was a  1983 'One-Ten' (as they were called then) County Station Wagon


Emley Moor was another port-of-call, with its ITV transmitter/relay station. Standing about a 1,000feet high (that's 2 Blackpool Towers) it dominates most of the West Yorkshire landscape.
Sadly the camera doesn't allow close-ups of the mast without parrallax error. Yes I know it tapers, but still. not as much as the image would show.


Slightly further afield, I came across this sad specimen. It's harvesting days over.


I certainly hope I'm not boring anyone with my days out, but some may like the photos & locations
Let me know what you think

Where'd you get your Yorkshire Rose from, Richard?  I've been after one for sometime.

 Add the usual (www. ) to workinleeds.co.uk/whiterose/images/rose.gif

Then put the img  tags before & after as usual  & copy/paste into your signature
I've done it this way so you can see the link
 
Or copy it from my sig.

xmob:
I meant the one on the back of your Disco.   :D

 :oops:  :oops:  :oops:
I got mine from a caravan accessory shop.
The closest I know of to you (off-hand) is the one on the A64 to the north-west of York

Barrons Yorkshire
Malton Road
Flaxton Moor
York
Y06 7SE
Tel; 01904 468334.

I suppose most (small/independant) car-parts shops will have the smaller ones, like I have in the rear window.


I'll nip out & take a photo of that one, unless I've got one.

 :roll: Just remembered Andy has a photo of one. They're about 5"diameter
