    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!

    I was following in my Landy as I had to leave early. Bus made it with no bother at all. B4632 and B4035 aren’t that narrow. Lorries were using them. The shot by the war memorial was taken while the bus was turning. we didn’t actually come down the road through that part of the village. That one would’ve been a challenge
