I don't think that JD spreads a lot of muck

This tractor works for it's living but when the sheep have gone and retirement beckons she'll look as good as that I hope.

Is that really a legal way of making sliced Chicken or is that the Cornel Sanders system modified

In fact scratch that - DAFs. A wankel rotary engined skip, basically. The cause of great amusement in the workshop in 1974 due to the engine type Here's a similar type with typical March spelling as well to add to the comedy:

No wankels, just rubber bands and aircooled flat twins surely?

Landrovers will be a very good bet over the next 5 years I reckon… Trouble is I cured myself of them forever when I owned this….



Shudder to think how much it has appreciated in the last couple of years!!

Stage ones probably always were the collectable end of the series 3 spectrum, CSW stage ones being the likely top end. A local farmer has had one like yours moldering in a field for 20 years; I'll have to give myself a giggle and see what ridiculous figure he thinks it's worth.

They do have a redeemable feature though….Best sounding Rover V8 convertible by far

This is my current rolling resto... For off gridding !
As an engineer old school nuts and bolts man, I fail to understand the language/logic of ECU in all its ever more complex presentation. (see latest Tesla!) So I personally do not want to own one, but I am sure that the designers of these things will be able to retro repair an old 2016 porsche in the future......IF the car culture survives!

On the question of will the culture survive, i was at a local autojumble recently noting that eveyone waiting to get in was 50 years older and upwards, so no young people. does this mean the skills for restoring old cars on a DIY basis will die out in the near future?.
