    I didn't know it back in '48, as my Dad was a young boy then, but I have known for quite some years.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Actually, Sleepy, recent posts have just given me a great idea.
    Come to Melrose. Tow my tandem over there. Whilst someone is distracted at Melrose, we could pop out to a certain location in the vicinity of the "Riverland" area.
    I reckon we could load up a '49, '52 and '53 parter on the 101 and tandem.
    One each. Now, that is a plan.

    I sold a disco recently and had very little regret.

    I've sold 2 defenders in the past though - a totally different story eh !
