HTT 487. Devon General 1946 AEC Regal/Weymann at Torbay Classic Bus & Coach Gathering at Oldway Mansion Paignton on 13/5/01.
HTT 327 DR327. My 1/43 code 3 representation of one of the first batch of 8 London style AEC Regent 3 chassis with pre-selector gearboxes new to Devon General in 1947. They were bodied by Weymann and cosidered to be among the smoothest running of any of the Company's vertical-engined buses. I did this model from an Ixo/Hachette RT. This was one of the most difficult models to dismantle. It's a Park Royal bod not Weymann but you have use what you can get. Other oldies like me will remember the RT done in Devon General livery by EFE.
This is one of those photos that really wasn't very special - but I loved the people I was sitting with while I drank this awesome sangria (thank you Staci!) and I loved the way the light hit the glass and cast that shadow. Even if it just makes me happy, it's good enough. LOL :-)
Happy Tipsy Tuesday!
Can a beer be skunked? Or maybe I should say corked, since this one had a cork. That was my question last Friday night after cracking open this baby. I was all excited to try the latest edition to this year's pumpkin brew lineup: Fegley's Brewworks, Devious Imperial Pumpkin out of Allentown. I dutifully photographed the bottle, popped the cork, poured a glass, and took a sip...and then spit it out. YUCK! I can't even blame getting suckered in by the label, since it's not particularly "pretty". But the lure of pumpkin beer is strong and I just couldn't resist. Hopefully next time, I'll have better luck and won't have to break my heart when pouring out the bottle.
And I may as well stick on an early HWW and HFF to boot with those whiskers and fangs. . .
