#2233 Sunday 29th October





Happy birthday Dad.  I have my father to thank for my mechanical skills...... he had me working on the suspension of an Austin A40 when I was 10...... and by my teens I had 2 old cars that were my learning ground - pulling them to bits to see how they worked.  By 17 I was stripping a Vespa 150 scooter..... it was seized and it had to be completely stripped and reassembled. (I rode that scooter on regular 200km trips in the next few years!)..... and that led to my passion for a 1942 Harley Davidson which was stripped to pieces in mum's loungeroom! 

The current landrover project is thanks to Dad.  I wish he was was still around to share it with.
