According to Google, that road roller is a 1924 Aveling and Porter called 'Johnny".
I imagine you don't so much see it as experience it... |

| I remember seeing a road roller still being used by the Rockhampton Council in Q'land in the 70's . I was surprised to see it still being in use , no, I did not take a photo but remember it well . |

Was it a three or four wheeler? Most survivors seem to be LHD 4 wheelers. I can't remember when I last saw one out and about. |

| I saw a late-80s (E-prefix) Ford Mustang yesterday, a hatchback version I think. Looked very clean, mainly white in colour. |

I've known this car for over 25 years. It has been stored to be restored "one day". We live in hope.
