Back from the dead ...

[Richieg]

Hi Guys ,

After about 6 years absence I am back . Big thanks to Beko1987 and Chaseracer for managing to sort my forgotten email address and password .

Anyway a lot has happened in 6 years and the cars we (my other half and I ) have seemed to accumulate is a total of 43 vehicles .

I am completely out of control and off the rails . I just can't say no ! 

Anyway to start off with this was a car I rescued last year . A 1979 Datsun 160j sss.

She is incredibly rotten but I am slowly finding the panels I need but these things take time with obscure cars and of course a lot of money .  

These cars are very rare and I believe in single possibly just in to double figures. 

The colour is fantastic . I can't think of a nicer colour than turquoise .

When the weather gets better we are going to get her running . 

Next car to mention will be ....

Cheers

Big fat 'welcome back' 

[Richieg]

Thanks mate 

A combination of my old email being deleted without being able to do a thing about it and forgotten password managed to keep me out for 6 years ! Lol .

I am not particularly good with computers and techy stuff . 

Thanks to all who helped me out

Well hello again. That Datsun is amazing.

Brilliant, great to have you back!

Any news on the R14? And the Rancho? We need a full run-down of everything ?

[sutty2006]

You have 43 cars? You are my hero. I bet you can’t get them all in one picture. 

[Richieg]

Sadly the R14 has long gone . It was just too far gone and ended up collapsing . 

It was just terminally rotten after sitting in a field for decades .

The Rancho is still waiting patiently for a cash injection but is safe in my yard .

Sadly not haha . I will try and post as many pics of them if it is allowed ? 

[Richieg]

When I say 43 vehicles , 3 are not cars . We own 3 buses too ...
