and the boy is raffling off his red ragtop 90 as a project car ( he cooked the motor as well in Scotland ) tickets are a Tenner with other goodies on offer (including a friday night out at river cottage) most of the proceeds



80%+ go to the charity Rural Revival . Derek

I saw his program the other day and he had a lightweight?

I think thats the 2nd river cottage series before that he had a 109 coverted into a camper/mobile kitchen "the gastrowagon" in "Cook on the Wildside" and a Ford Corsair (maybe consul) covertable for the early River Cottage series . He was on 4 again tonite in "River Cottage Roadtrip" and the 90 sounded to be running nicely theres a 'RC' compilation program running as well so you'll probably see all the landys in one show .

I noticed the vehicle changed half way through last night's programme. When he left Dorset it was on a 'F' plate, by the time he got to Scotland it was a much later vehicle, on a Scottish 'N' plate. I wondered whether the older one had blown up en route. If it's an early
