Monty lives in the garage. a lack of wheels and suspension stops him going anywhere without the aid of trolleys and jacks!

No pictures really but in the carpark behind the house, along with my sister's car. The drive in front of the house is occupied by my parent's car (even though we can get the Moggy on there too if we try) and the garage is filled with junk/workshop :D

Thats a great collection of Land Rovers! The Mk1 Marina is rather lovely too!

Mine live at work - having more floor space than I strictly need for business use is handy, and wasn't just chance either :)
Having said that, the van ressurrection is taking place outside the door. Stuff expands to fill available space.... :-?[frame]Image[/frame]

Thank you, They are part of a rather large collection (around 12 in total).

The "frame" is the back of a 1980 series 3 LWB L4P fire engine thats currently being restored.

The white one is a 1963-4 Recovery truck

The other is our 1966 LWB Station wagon Ex-Glamorgan fire engine.

We also have various other landys from a 1958 "88 series 1 to a 1995 Discovery :-)


The Marina was an impulse purchase, a mate was selling it off and we decided to buy it as a "Little" runabout, it only cost us £100 so wasnt too bad :-P

Grommit sleeps in a small garage which she shares with a washing machine, a deepfreeze and a plastic dustbin (removed for the photo) and other "useful" things that will be given in the long term to a charity shop.[frame]Image[/frame]

Mine live next to eachother in the double garage which has been kindly vacated by mother :P :D[frame]Image[/frame]
Atm its no where near that tidy, the project is stripped down to a bare shell, with the wings grille etc all stacked inside and around, front wheels and discs off etc etc. The 1.4 zetec and type 9 is also in there so space is somewhat limited.
