Claim to Fame

[Mastiff Mum]

Further to a previous thread regarding claim to fames...here is my dads Excalibur, which was once owned by Tommy Steele. (ok, ok, not MUCH of a claim to fame, but the car IS nice!)

The woofer in the picture is my dearly departed Benson, a Neopolitan Mastiff, which is where my number plate comes from (B19 NEO)

Nice car I've always fancied a proper two seater sports car.

My eye was drawn to the 2tone Vauxhall Cresta PA in the background. I had one of those once. Lovely str8 six engine. All the rust spots conspired to join up and she had to go!!

Who's tommy steele?

He was big on the British rock n roll/skiffle scene in the early 60's. He also starred in Half A Sixpence and other musicals. He sang Little White Bull but I can't remember which film it was from. It was way before my time!

He actually imported this car with the money he made from the film 'Half a Sixpence'

Basking in reflected glory....
My freinds neopolitan bull mastiff played the part of fang in the first Harry potter film.I'd imagine that, as a mastiff owner,you might rate that as a not totally sad fact.
