Fleet that is....<br>
I'm getting a bit annoyed (not really - just being provocative ) so I just thought I'd throw down the gauntlet and increase the already rapt admiration in which you all already hold me (NOT!). The fleet is probably at a peak now and will be decling in the near term in the interests of sanity, wife, relations with neighbours (who I dont give a monkeys about actually...if it has a tax disk its allowed to park anywhere its not causing an obstruction!). Here it is in no particular order....<br>
<br>
2 X tax free pimento Dollie7's, one with o/d and other soon to be. Kids cars.<br>
1 Tahiti 1850HL o/d, sprint lloys...(dont like this car much...dunno why...for sale soon)<br>
1 Inca 1850HL o/d sprnt lloys webasto...(for sale soon)<br>
1 White 1850HL no o/d std wheels. (for sale soon)<br>
1 Vermillion Sprint STR91 my baby never for sale<br>
1 russet Sprint totally std (for sale soon)<br>
1 Inca Sprint lairy old nail with lowered spax (for sale soon)<br>
1 green 1330 (likely to break)<br>
<br>
So that makes 9. Dollies in all...2 more than Alun Ha!<br>
<br>
And the rest...<br>
<br>
1 carmine spit 1500 with o/d never for sale my baby<br>
1 carmine Spit 1500 no o/d as yet but may fit and for sale whenever.<br>
1 Stag - long term resto - will be fab!<br>
<br>
1 XJ6 Sovereign...cos I'm a rich got and I love it. Off the road at the moment for no particular reason. May sell if you twist my arm.<br>
1 K reg Rover 3500S 5 speed box. Ha no tax on this one either and I drive it to work...Spect I'll flog it when the Stags on the road.<br>
<br>
1 1958 MG Magnette Varitone...very long term resto Ive owned for 30 years and done nothing to. Sad really.<br>
1 1958 MG Magnette another long term resto that may get started this year. If Ive got the time.<br>
<br>
1 110 Landie TDi thats our lorry/van/workshop and just blew a head gasket...Brilliant!<br>
<br>
Blimey that makes 17 in all...I'd never counted them all before!<br>
So there you all are. Hurl insults, amazement, challenges or offers for any of those for sale my way.<br>
<br>
And for goodness sake who needs TWO Alfa 166's?<br>

Jon,<br>
<br>
I think a certain Mr Lester will give you a run for your money. As he never seems to be on this forum we'll probaby never know for sure!<br>
<br>
My 'fleet' is very modset, no Alfa 166's, but a 1955 Velocette for someone to beat regarding obscurity!

Pathetic

2 1500TCs (one looking to face the chop thanks to paperwork probs and major rot, the other an auto awaiting full resto)<br>
1 1500hl auto (about to die unless someone buys it, thanks to my stupidity writing it off)<br>
1 2000mk2 (daily driver, in need of a lot of work though)<br>
1 Metro 1275 (with leatherish seats, c/l and electric windows as standard! Might also be facing Mr Grinder thanks to paperwork, insurance premiums, dodgy drivetrain/ brakes, and space issues)<br>
<br>
Only got one parking space, so I can't take on anymore than that! However, if some can be moved on in one way or another, I might wangle some storage for something else - Have to get at least 2 cars a year or I get withdrawl symptoms <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :o --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... rassed.gif ALT=":o"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->
