What’s made you happy for a change

Depends on the people...

You're the real deal.
The "statement" bike jacket & the chrome duck, almost prove it beyond any doubt.
But there's far to many people that falsely claim to not give a cr@p. Whilst craving the acceptance of others.
Same as every self proclaimed "bad ass" I've ever met.
They are always the first to run when the shit hits the fan!

The chassis and drive train was Rolls Royce but those 25-30s were topped off by a variety of coach builders of the customer’s choice. When a gentleman chooses a suit he goes to his tailor not the woollen mill!

Back in 1997 I was invited to Hagley Hall for a do with ‘Worshipful Society of Coach amd Harness Makers’ to celebrate the centenary of the motorcar in Britain. Got to have a play in Paddy Hopkirk’s mini, the original Rolls Royce Silver Ghost (only to sit in that one not to drive!). Victor Gauntlet arranged for his spitfire to do a flypast, and he had his Birkin Bentley there. Wonderful day out.

Collected that 6' x 3' metal cabinet.
What an absolute feckin steal!
Waaaay too tidy for use as tool storage in a garage, but I'll live with it

And as a bonus it's curry for dinner at Chateau DD

Did you tell the missis that I said if you collect a tool cabinet you have to buy a curry on the way home?

WTF else do I get the blame for ?

"Oh" I always thought the song went.... didn't I have a lovely time the day I went and banged her

@R3pete If you don't want that 'pile of black shit' you could always send it up to me. I have a soft spot for all the Hinckley built machines and I'm sure I could find a place for it.

Some are, but not that one.
It's worth the cost of the diesel to get it to my house though. When are you available for collection?
