Hi! I noticed that almost everybody who ever collected a car takes the obligatory 'my new car at the fuel station on it's way home'-shot. Let's share them here    Cheers, Jan |

Poor quality boring daytime shot...340 mile trip picking up the Teenage Dirtbag in the, errrr, Teenage Dirtbag.  Not so much picking up a car, but more picking up a complete front end for Ben's Volvo. 360 mile round trip for the older style front end. A long day, a bad day, but the result was worth it in the end  |

Wow  Your car looked like that? Seems so strange seeing the before shots now. |

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

not even sure where this was, but it must have been somewhere between southampton and nor-wales, with my ford pop chassis in the back of a rented movano van - it fitted with about 1/2" to spare - if you look carefully you can see another very rotten pop frame folded up at the front of the van - courtesy of sudbury's finest purveyor of bmw's - roboR  same sized movano - but this time with an ex drag racer ford prefect stuffed into it - this was quite the job getting it all in - it was a touch tricky getting it out solo too!  even the mighty truck was once in need of bringing home - bit of a squeeze on a canter, but we made it!  ^^ that was actually outside the chippy, but the petrol station is just in sight! |
