[nigel bickle]

Errr.6 on the drive, 8 in the garage, 4 out the back, 4 out the front, 6 in the layby, 1 nearby, = 29 (exc m/cycles)Ooops-forgot the 2 Barns & a fair sized(ish)compound -all FULL. But they arent here-so it doesnt count...Right?Stuno -it was 36 cars, 6 m/cycles, 40(ish)sets of alloys & lord alone knows how many engines etc. Still makes me sad. Every single one roadlegal-or road'ready'

If they are yours then yes of course they count! How many do you reckon are in those places?

[dollywobbler]

22 cars and a tractor. Like Mike, I'm having a big cull in the new year. I'll probably end up with 9 hopefully.

Will you advertise them here? You've got some very interesting cars...

Indeed. Still interested in the 16 if I can actually pull some funds together...

[Mash]

Six for me:1967 Triumph 13001968 Datsun 10001974 Datsun 140J1984 Mazda 323 GT1985 Nissan Sunny1985 Honda Accord (still for sale... )Five is about as many as I can manage and is really one too many to be practical but that doesn't stop me from looking all the time

Welcome to the board capsule boy! If you've got a mint Ami 6, why do I not know you? Or perhaps I do... Cracking line-up.I've only got the Bond, 2CV and BX to call mine, wifey's Bedford and Mini contrast each other nicely. A mere five. Pathetic.

[michiel]

Cracking line-up.

Indeed! Bienvenu à vous.

[mouseflakes]

1986 R25 - on ebay now

Looks nice too. Best colour for French luxo-barges IMO. Shame I'm in the process of clearing the decks at the moment (not to mention wrong side of the country).I've exchanged a few (ebay) messages with you over the years - welcome on board - Stuart isn't it?We have worryingly similar vehicular tastes.

[nigel bickle]

Capsuleboy-welcome.Tell me about the Mosky-please?Leccy Leyland- I did a V5c count a year or two back -leastways one drawer of the filing system. (Have to be pretty organised...)I drawer held 50 or so envelopes (ie vehicle docs) & I've 3drawers full -bursting. I think the answer is to find a 4 drawer filing cabinet, dont you!

Jeez - what a hero.Do you do tours?

[nigel bickle]

Sorn'ing can be a potential issue-although they've not made a fine 'stick' yet- been close once or twice!

 

No 'tours'-sorry. Last time I let someone in -this happened- 6 weeks later

 

 

 

Wasnt them-but someone they told -who toldsomeone else etc etc.

Excellent! You've got my dream fleet right there Pictures plz.

[scruff]

Bad one Mr B Bastards.

[dollywobbler]

That is officially exceedingly gutting. Jeepers. Made worse knowing that the sort of stuff you collect is not exactly mainstream is it? Oooh that's got me in a right grump now.

[Milford Cubicle]

NB's photos made me shed a tear. The perpetrators should be burnt in some kind of giant wicker FSO.I only have 1 car at the moment.

[M'coli]

That's awful.

[Mr Lobster]

Seeing pictures of the aftermath of the Bickle fire always make me sad. Must have been absolutely gutting. :cry:Edit - just realised the slight pun on the word 'gutting' Not meant in that sense, must have been absolutely fucking horrible.

[Richieg]

Yeah the photos are just awful!!!I would of been on tranquilisers i think if that happened to me,either that or had a nervous breakdownWas it a recent thing mate?If so my sympathies going out to you big time!!cheersRichie

[garbaldy]

[Station]

What happened in the events running up to it, was it a revenge thing?

[reallyloud]

That burned out barn image always gets me. I'm not surprised that feel that way, I think I would too.

 

I recall a certain ratdat having about 100 cars - mostly Datsuns a few years ago. Quite a few of the Datsun boys tend to have more than 3 at any one time.

 

I knew I'd never get round to every car I had so culled my collection down to 5. I have 4 cars waiting for attention, which judging by my previous inability to work quickly, should keep my wallet and time occupied until I expire.

 

 

A 1974 Toyota Carina, which will be in the processes of being welded and painted. Plan is to get this done for next summer.

 

 

A 1975 Datsun 100A wagon which is having its underside scrubbed - eventually it will get a respray.

 

 

And finally a long term project of a Datsun 510. Currently tucked up safely.

 

Yeah they're old pictures, but I have to bring them out once a year.

 

I also have my daily driver - a well used, likeable happy shopper - a Fiat Panda and a S2 106 Rallye which is great for keeping up with BMW M3's (just round corners though)

[Richieg]

LOVE the 100a mate what a nice colour too!!,is it an estate??cheersRichie
