Just had a peek through your photobucket album. Some really interesting car-related stuff going on at your place! Great to see.

What's the story behind the council letter about the pavement!?

haha - heres some pics of the other toys - and for those eagled eyed ones - yes the westy is a v8 LOL 510 bhp/T :+)

re council - they accused me of accessing my drive over a part of pavement that didnt have a angled kerb - they couldnt get their head round the fact that cars have steering to allow you to manouvre in! all sorted now though!
