A lot more than the 20 litres of 20W50 I somewhat optimistically purchased lol.

Ah, the fella formerly known as MM from the blue. I didn't realise you were one of the A52 visitors from back in the day. I enjoyed reading about the escapades at the unit and always liked his Bedford Rascal sat on turbines. 

Looking at his profile,  he's done really well since the early days of his laser cutting work, which is particularly apparent when looking at his current fleet! His products look great quality too, which is also apparent in the keyrings you've commissioned. 

There is a cool photo Bruce took at Area 52 of my SC100 with his lifted Delica, the actual Mystery Machine from his user name.  Bruce is a cool guy with excellent taste in vehicles and wheels!

I'd forgotten about the lifted Delica. Looking at his profile link you mentioned, I particularly like his 2a Landie. I wish I could justify the spend!

I am too young and or stupid to really be aware of area 51, but I tried to convince him to post on here when he bought that 504 Dangel.

I have decided for reasons that may one day become a crazy insane reality to call my first Stolly (GVO282J)........

Biggles

Yes after James Bigglesworth 😀

[brownnova]

Used to love the Biggles books as a kid.. the titles were questionable though...

Biggles takes it rough...

Biggles and the dark intruder...

are two which spring to mind 😂😂

[High Jetter]

Biggles was fictional, the Wright brothers got there first!

Yeah I still have some Biggles books 😀 They definitely are of a certain period lol, like reading original Enid Blyton books etc.

I'm not entirely sure why but I'm getting vibes of this:

The tagline of which is 'A Hobby That Got Out of Hand'.

Key rings have arrived 😀Some have been pre licked by Sonic.

For all those who have asked if they will be for sale.... Yes they will 😀I will make a post about ordering soon.

The Dispatch is the first vehicle in my fleet to get one.

[Heidel_Kakao]

Got myself a Psion Series 5 now that I am a thrusting young CEO. My Dad had a Series 3a back in the day and I used to love playing with it.

I have decided to try and get the LS430 through another MOT, I need an executive barge to suit my status as CEO. @chompy_snake What did you say it would definitely fail on? Handbrake? Mismatched lights etc?

When I had it for sure mismatched headlamps was an issue as had 1 HiD and 1 halogen .... the handbrake didn't do much. 

Some time has passed since then so unknown what else it may need by now 🤷

Apologies for delayed response as been mega busy 

[Heidel_Kakao]

Sonic continues to slowly meet the fleet one by one. Today the Dispatch......

And Roadrunner 😀 I think he likes these two as I can stroke him while driving and he gets a really good view of the road and what's going on.

I think he'll like the special windscreen at floor level,  just for him...

My dad used to have one of those. Gave it to me, but I never had the patience for it and kept using the Filofax.

I was just thinking that!, the Curb-side viewing window will be perfect for him when he wants curl up and have a lie down on the floor but still watch the world go by

Aye some crazy stuff took place down there, I remember meeting you when you had the red Lada with moon wheels and your telling me how you liked to randomly do one tire fires at the traffic lights in it haha.

H_K as you know I think Stollys are great, but financial ruin. However I have just seen this, no I am not suggesting you buy it and it definitely can't rest in the FoD.

I went to see this today and purchased it 😀 I hadn't realised they only made 50 MK1"s

So that's officially two Stolly's, expect that number to increase 🤔

I need at least three swimming MK2's to recreate this shot.

Why stop at three?

To be honest - If I were you I'd be trying to buy up every one of them.  Not only those on the open market, but by writing (with my credentials) to other private owners.  You've clearly got the means and the wherewithal, so personally I'd be ramping up efforts to get half a dozen sooner rather than later.

You could look at a few tanks too and maybe do red letter day experiences?

[M'coli]

Or 3 photos of one and splice them together.

Any particular reason my post has been deleted?  It didn't break a single rule of the board, and yet it's gone.

Would genuinely appreciate a post (in this thread here please) explaining why.
