Re: GESO: Pilgrim's Rest

"In NZ if stock gets loose the farmer is liable for any damage to vehicles". Theoretically true in SA too but, with tribal herds, the owner can never be found. Years ago in the early morning I saw a couple of dismembered cows lying on the roadside. Imaginative butchery. Alan C . On

The herd had broken through the fence to get at the grass on the verges. The elderly Herdsman with his two dogs seemed totally unperturbed & waved with a big smile at the passing motorists. Alan C On 28-Mar-21 09:51 PM, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: Nice images. I love the cows in the road! Dan

Re: GESO: Pilgrim's Rest

I'm curious about the car. At first, I thought it was a Riley RM model, with the split screen and partially faired-in headlights, but the back end doesn't look quite right for any of the versions I remember. Did you get any other pics? -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe

Re: GESO: Pilgrim's Rest

Mike, sorry, I only took the one. Everything is so rusted. I think it is an American car. Perhaps Paul S or one of the others over there will know? Alan C On 28-Mar-21 11:56 AM, mike wilson wrote: I'm curious about the car. At first, I thought it was a Riley RM model, with the split screen
