I think thats it although having said that there were a few "project cars" that I havn't included.

And on top of that approximately 20 - 25 Motorcycles. I just re read what I have written and have a gut feel that 9 of those were V8's

Jeez now I need a beer

what a great first Maryborough car

Long ago now,a guy at Bulimba built up a Moke with a 1275 Cooper S power train each end. Gearshift linkage was a work of art. It could smoke all four and blow off most anything around then. He dismantled it after a long running dispute with CAMS scrutineers and stewards who were not happy with it, refused to give a log book, or even indicate what classes it may be eligible to compete in. It was road registered and had been over the pits and seriously examined by the Safety Nazis of the Department and passed.

1. 1967 2A Land Rover hardtop, 1987-1999
2. 1969 2A Land Rover hardtop, 1988-1989
3. 1971 2A Land Rover wagon, 1996-1999
4. 1998 Defender wagon, 1999 - present

Not many and I'll have the Defender for a while I think.

I can't count how many motorbikes I've had though.
