Back from the dead ...

[eddyramrod]

Welcome back Richie!  What a collection, I'm speechless.  So much to love in there!

[loserone]

Utterly amazeballs.  How do you get the time?!

[Saabnut]

43 Vehicles? Not bad but myself and @Six-cylinder will be happy to give you lessons to up your game!

My thread

That single axle trailer gives me the fears! Are you going to be at the NEC again next month?

[jon.k]

Wow! So many questions.

How many of these are on the road?

How do you manage to store them?

Can we see more of the buses please?

Do you ever sell any cars or just buy them? 

Do you only have things that are generally quite undesirable to the average person and even the average car enthusiast... ie top shite?

[jon.k]

I was also going to ask if you are from Scotland.

[ProgRocker]

Welcome back.

Love the Polonezssssss...Polonezeseses....Whatever! I've been fascinated by them since What Car? magazine gave them a 1 blob out of 5 score for almost every criteria in the late 1980s/1990s road tests.

The Datsun Cherry is sub zero cool imo. In fact the whole collection is bloody ace.

Owning one older car causes me anxiety. Owning 43 (+ 3 buses) must be a sign of great mental toughness.

[bunglebus]

You are the hoarder my finances prevent me from being! Love the Polonei/Polonezes

Bless Nigel . I know Nigel . He has relieved me of a yugo 511 I had to pass on . It is an illness or something ! I just hate modern cars and I must be stock piling for my next 50 years of driving lol

[dikkehemaworst]

After years of lurking and reading on this forum. Wow! Your living the dream!! Even with busses!! Not jealous at all....

[Eyersey1234]

@Richieg A fine collection of chod you have there. Welcome back. 

[brownnova]

Wow.... just wow!!! That collection really is something! Every one a winner too! Very jealous. Between you, Saabnut, 6-cyl and Mr Bickle I feel I really should start adding more to my collection...

Trouble is the larger the collection the more neglect that takes place. 

[bigstraight6]

What a hero, I struggle to find enough time to fettle my 4 vehicles and another family owned one but I’m not going to complain anymore after reading this.

I had a 120a coupe that was badly painted black back in the late 80's

Any idea what the reg is,did it come from north Kent ?

I owned this one owner 21k mile one too in the late 90's that i should never of sold.

If you are ever looking to rehome yours then let me know.

[Dick Cheeseburger]

Wow! Amazing collection and some fantastic saves. I particularly like the 120a coupe - I don't think I've ever seen one in the metal. 

As for the earliest Chrysler Alpine known, are you in the south west? I remember seeing it parked up in the 'don't crush these cars' area at a local breakers around a decade ago iirc. I'm mid Cornwall. 

Intrigued to see updates!

[sierraman]

43 cars chuffing hell where do you keep them all?!?

[omegod]

Those Allegro estates have made me go a bit woozy, dear lord I love them !!!

[UltraWomble]

We need a lottery winner to purchase a large warehouse which we could open an "Autoshite" museum to house all these wonderful collections of chod.

 

[nigel bickle]

 

kinda hidden by the tow car Richie. Safe n dry with my 313.

Me too ! They have been my childhood obsession and they have never gone away . It's the roof line at the back and the tailgate and the long windows that do it for me !! Haha
