I'll need a sports bra built by swan hunter ;D ;D

Sweetpea, We saw a champ at one of the car shows recently and a friend of ours has, i think,4 Austin Gypsy's

Peony, the heater isn't very good at all

Thing is Graham doesn't need an excuse, he's buy every old car for sale if he had the choice ;D ;D

My OH used to be like that Rosie, when we lived in the old bungalow and had loads of space he had a lovely green MG TD and a very old Riley which he found in a field and rebuilt. Sadly the MG had to be sold when the bungalow needed a new roof, and the Riley went when it was finished to pay for the central heating

We haven't got the room to keep an old car now, but when he retired he did have a motorbike for a few years!

The MG didn't have a heater Rosie, but I did have a very warm sheepskin coat ;D[/quote]

My all time favourite old car is a Riley peony

, we would love one but they are terribly expensive to buy

Graham has kept his ZX10 too, he bought it new in 1988 i think.

That looks cute & tough too Rosie.

Years ago we bought a Suzuki jeep & I remember we went to Appleyards in Yorkshire to look at it, the car salesman was an ex rally/racing driver & took us for a test drive over an old quarry site, I had to sit in the back, no seat belt, nothing to hold onto, I was black & blue when I finished bouncing around in it but we still bought one! ;D
