I thought I would see if my old car was still around. Had been owned by a couple on the zone before me and had a famous first owner. Unfortunatly the HPI is upsetting. Bit late to hold a memoral service but i'm sure many thoughts are with her..

Roald Dahl? I blame the BFG.

True true. It's amazing how much of the o/e spec went missing as it went through different hands. Shame it's gone as the colour is getting rare now.

What did he write? The film script? Ian Fleming wrote the book.

Dahl wrote the screenplay for You Only Live Twice but I didn't know he wrote Chitty as well.

Phil Collins was also a drummer on George Harrison's 1970 solo album 'all things must pass'. :D
