They might go like stink but I cant get past how ugly they are, or is that just me.

Piccies you say?

Add to that Honda CT 125's and you have my current crops.

Before that it was 200 series Volvo wagoons with or without 350 chev although I had a very nice 240 Wagon manual with a quick B23.

Ive also owned a few Jags from Mk 10's to S II and id love a Series 1 project but a really early one with an XK engine.

I also used to tinker with Skoda's before they were made by VeeDub and had a handful of 120L's.

But im basically a Valiant guy having owned and driven them since the early 80's and having a real "Thing" for the US "A body" style of the VE/VF and VG Vals.

And for the times when I need a tough job done well and in comfort Ive always been a Land Rover guy preferring Rangies but loving LWB Landies especially 2a and S3.

I haven't owned a New car since 2003 and I dont miss them in any way.

My "other" car is a Citroen DSpeciale, which I have owned for over thirty years. I had to take it off the road because I could not afford to run three cars, and unlike Landrovers of similar age, it is getting hard to find parts. Still in good condition, and does not really need any restoration, probably the worst fault is that it has a broken reversing light - kids caught a dog lead on it.

Old tractors. Currently helping my friend with his MF135 and two TEA/TED 20s. The next one will probably be the petrol Dexta, then a Ford 4000. We've also played with a Fordson Major which later threw a leg out of bed. I did do a bit with servicing other peoples' LandCruisers, though that got old real quick and I now refuse to do them any more.
