    A cracking day out in the Cotswolds with a couple of classic vehicles. An ex-Southdown Leyland Titan PD2 and a Rolls Royce 20/25. Very fond memories of the Southdown Titans as I would travel on them in and around Chichester during childhood holidays at my much loved great aunt Vi’s. Just a shame they didn’t have a Chichester area destination blind to hand.

    My wife cannot believe how you drove down the narrow road at Aston Sub Edge...
    She's convinced it's AI.

    On the 45th!
    The width of the PD2 is 7'6". The current Ford Transit is 6'9". That's only 9" difference. It's the corners that kill you. I would not like to come face to face with one on a dark night down a narrow road!
