Now you are a man of wealth perhaps you can afford some weed killer, to kill weeds in your drive.
Anyway I know they are only toys because Brian would have told me if they were real!
You'll never guess what I found lurking in a lock-up garage in Reading right under your nose.
It's a ford, it's Red, it's got eight cylinders, and it cost me NOTHING. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

If you had won the lottery Beryl would have bagged the money to buy a new house with a new kitchen to save waiting for you to modernise her existing one!
I have seen the pictures of Ian's new auto. It did come from Reading but a fair few lanes away from you!

Alan,
"A few bob", to buy 3 originals like that it must have been more than just a few. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
Well, now you're that loaded, I've got one I picked up in Reading earlier in the year, maybe I can interest you in it? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
Max
PS Are you going to Bullington tomorrow? | |

Funny you should say that, when I went to look at my new acquisition in a lock-up off the Tilehurst road, the gentleman who was disposing of the car handed me the key's to the padlock for the garage, on closer inspection some one had already sawn the clasp off the lock and broken into the garage.
Upon openning the doors there it was standing under 2inches of dust accumulated over the last 25 years since it was last on the road, early sixties american, one owner from new, 30,000 miles, totaly orginal, early small block ford, and best of all Right Hand Drive. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
Would make a excellent tow car for my Forty
Hardly a "Indianna find" but one hell of a lot cheaper !!
Answers please to what year and model I found.
Happy Guessing
Ian

Magic potion Alan?
not normally a problem- but you'd need gallons of it.
Still I should have the WIDE ASS passenger seat ready by next July [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] | |
