635CSi - Skip run

[G600]

There's a window cleaner near me who used to use a triumph 2000 and now uses a Morris, dad's triumph vitesse is used more for the tip run than any of the other cars.

A friend of mine has a late 50's Moggy as his daily drive, usually hear him before we see him!

We have a local Window Cleaner that runs a fleet of series Land Rovers late 70's early 80's.

My everday drive Darth... But...



I know all these vehicles are still in regular working use.

The local ice cream van:



Not as old as the plate suggests (1978 van apparently). However he used to have a couple of them. From memry he used to take one off the road, work on it then change it around.
Excellent ice cream as well.

HA vans brings back memories of my early days as a train drivers assistant, BR had 1000's of these and as a train crew we would occasionally be taken to collieries or sidings in the wheeltappers van. Back seat was a couple of planks, you would be sitting among couplings, brake blocks, airpipes and tools. At least one of us would have a scolding hot mashing can full of tea, usually on the floor between your legs! The guard would always have a small bottle of paraffin for the tail lamps and there would be a least one fag on. The carnage if we'd had an accident is unthinkable, still the hot tea would put the fire out! Oh and everywhere in 3rd.

Must be a window cleaner thing, our's has a MK 3 Cortina Estate in Beige. I think it was a Marina estate before that.

My old thing collecting some new windows for the house:

The boot had another window and all the double-glazed units in it. There was a good reason for this mission, it was the only car that had old-fashioned gutters which my roofrack would fit...

That looks fantastic.
The strange thing is, I didn't like them when they were new, but I wouldn't mind having one in the garage now.

Not "everyday" but a nice combo I used to have:-

They do look cool now, especially if they're in good condition like this. They're like a mini American car; I like the styling of US cars from this era too.

It was good to see a 'little grey Fergie' (tractor) still in use yesterday, had to wince at it being kept outside in the field though, those things never seem to die!
