Here's another mixed bag to get the imagination racing, found this week.
Renault van.
A common thing is to buy an old house and find the outbuilding or garage has a sitting tenant!
I can't remember where I found this pic but it's so nice I'll post it here anyway!

That Mercedes-Benz is beautiful, if ever there was a car to restore to all it's pastel blue glory that would be it.
I can imagine it re-finished with sumptuous cream interior leather and those white wall tyres - perfect! |

as my license is essential i dont drink if im driving anywhere, had a friend in a sticky situation here after a acceident with a drunk driver when he to was over the limit, dont want to get into the same position and with a young family its really not worth it least if im sober, the drunken gits cant get away with it...
(if you been to france you'll understand exactly)
thanks for the good words about the site, its doing well, just keep finding old stuff.....have you seen the fire engines/trucks and farm machinery
and no im 33 so most of its older than me _________________ 2 Mk2 Polos

Well I'm 48 and remember many of the types when as a boy they were current and in use, always seems a shame to end up rusting away and uncared for...perhaps they a metaphor for the people that knew them also! |

i thinks its the fact that people keep there cars because they do love them to much and dont want to see them end up as square boxes _________________ 2 Mk2 Polos

Yes Greeney said that too, although leaving something to rot into the ground just seems a funny way of showing your affection! |
