    Evening All,

    Whilst on holiday in The Cotswolds last week, I came across the Cotswolds Motoring Museum at Bourton-on-the-Water. This is a real Aladdin's Cave of cars and motoring memorabilia and well worth a visit if in that area. Interestingly, when I was first taken to Bourton-on-the-Water I was still in short trousers and many of the exhibits in the museum were still in everyday use. Now they're museum pieces, so what does that say about me?! Some things, in fact, were still 20 years in the future!

    Anyway, photography is encouraged, unlike in the Model Railway Exhibition across the road, so I took lots of pictures and the first few are now on Flickr. If anyone would like to see them, this is the first one in the Photostream :

    They can also be found in this Album :

    Hope that they are of interest.

    Is Brum still there? I used to have to take the eldest son to see him every time we went anywhere nearby.

    Yes; a bit hemmed in though. 'Scuse my igorance, but, apart from being a little car, what's Brum?
