Yep I paired my Rommel with some fuel barrels 😂

I built the Storch a few years back - a little cracker!

Good! Basically suitable for every occasion!

I'm speaking at The Manchester Military History Society on Tuesday 14th October about the Cold War In The North West of England.

Long story but a few years ago I had to do some research on their customer service stats - no 1 cause of complaint on Dubai Metro - men in women only carriages, no 2 was not enough prayer rooms

And in my head all those summers involved my old man giving all the kids brushes and getting us to creosote the fence!

I was 8 - all I remember is me and Paul Quinn went off on our bikes on a VERY hot day and got so thirsty we knocked on a complete strangers door to beg for water, but she said she’d been cut off for using her hosepipe! 🤷🏻😀

5 years now - chassis and bulkhead are mint and bodywork is ally of course. It was originally an FFR (radio truck) so would have been slower than a lethargic snail, so I guess nobody wanted to drive it 😀

‘Nobody would ever let it get as bad as that’

I’ll be cleaning it with me toothbrush!

Great til you try and drive and realise you’re sitting in a spider hotel 😱

Very mouldy Wolf 90 Land Rover with lots of green tree streaks on it

Kircudbright you say?! 😀

She does - they keep their brown and white people separate over there - hence she’s much more comfortable 🤷🏻

Oh the humanity!!

Huzzah!! 🍻
