back to topic ...
I'm not showing my wheels until I've washed them! but then it would also depend on the time of year as I have the turbine alloys on for the majority of the year and a set of steelies for our [mild] winter.
Then again, I really should post a picture of my car in the bs that need a bit of love topic [well "need some money spent on a new roof" topic]

After the Great Computer Crash of July 07 where virtually every image I had was wiped out, I only have two or three pics of my B & unfortunately it's currently mothballed in a barn somewhere in the outskirts of Reading, so I can't pop out & snap a few shots of the wheels. However, I think they look nice, even if it is a while since I've seen them! From memory, they're OZ's & I think they're 16".

LRB that's very kind of you to make such a selfless offer. The address is Fdi%$3"$%^ Farm. L%6*(|"1&@ !@?/6^*(, Near Reading.
(Damn, seems my keyboard has suddenly developed an intermittent fault!)
Offers there - and I would not pinch your wheels - I only bought mine a couple of weeks ago!!
Thanks for the offer. The B is tucked up in a nice cozy barn on a farm & has a Triumph TR5, Mk1 Escort Mexico, Alfa Guillia, a couple of old Minis, a Herald, series 1 Land Rover & various motorbikes to keep it company! I'm actually hoping to get down there in the next couple of weeks to make a start on getting back on the road. Just need to sort out a new downpipe!

Pictures, pictures!!
To think that the Escort is probably the most valuable
I used to live in Zambia when I was a whippersnapper and we had a Yellow escort (so that's why I like yellow cars!!), basic model.......very basic model, no heater (obviously!!), no carpets just plastic mats, black plastic seats.....I still have the scorch marks
MK1 Mexico - one of my all time favourites!!! I'm with SS on this one - pictures please!!!
I had a friend who had a MK2 RS2000 - one of the best handling car's of its era - shame they all rusted into nothing.....................

One of my better deals..............years ago, bought a Mk 2 popular with a dinged wing for £80, fitted a second hand wing sprayed with a can and sold it for £600.............ah, those were the days

Due to the aforementioned Great Computer Crash of July 07 I thought I had lost all my photos of car related stuff! However, a quick look through an old disk has located a few pics of the barn from a couple of years ago.
As you can see, the Escort isn't exactly road worthy & is in pretty much the same condition now as it was then. Saying that, the condition is actually very good & would take very little to get it back on the road; all the parts are there & would be a relatively easy job. The double decker Midget is actually the second car I ever bought back in 1987 with a new Heritage shell on top of it. Realising that I wasn't ever going to get around to doing it, I put it on eBay & is now in a new home in Belgium. The Land Rover was a raffle prize (really!) & hasn't moved! I've just passed it on to a friend (the one who owns the Mexico) & he says he's going to get it on the road! Better than I've done in the last 10 years!!! The rolling chassis is now a very nice dark blue TR5 & my B has taken it's place in that corner of the barn!
Still not found any other pics of Boo the Barchetta unfortunately. When I go down there next I'll take the camera. The contents of the barn are constantly changing & is a continuous source of fascination.

nice landy series I or II?
we had a nice Series III and put a 90 front end on

It's a Series 1 80", from 1950. I won it in a raffle at the Bristol Classic Car Show in about 1989! I used it as my daily car for a few years before an engine problem took it off the road. It served me well & has the dubious honour of writing off a brand new Pug 205 GTi in 1991. Damage to the Landy? A scratched & slightly buckled front bumper! Land Rovers have to be one of my motoring weaknesses. I've had a good few of them, not counting the dozen or so that I had as company cars when I worked for them!
The hoover isn't SS's, but if he wants to come over & vacuum all the rat poo from the corners of the workshop, he's more than welcome!!!
I love 'drovers, I had a S11 lightweight when I was much younger for a couple of months in the summer - most excellent fun as you could take off the doors, windows, roof etc etc etc - funny enough girls liked it on a hot day until they got a face full of flies (the winged sort)!!!
I always fancied shoe-horning a V8 under the bonnet but decided to get shot of it when a friend offered me £200 more than I paid for it - if I remember correctly I bought a 1972 Rover 2200TC as a replacement.............ah, happy days!!
