Can't be more that 7 or 8 that I know of. Apparently there was one in ryde some years ago in windmill close. I know George's is on the road as he lives down my road, so not sure who the other is..

Shook on a deal to buy Charlie Safari's 1750 TC Coupe. :-D :thumbup:

Wrapped up a few good pieces of dash trim and put them away safe and secure in the garage.

Had to replace the starter solenoid - the Mighty Marina wouldn't start outside work when 'her-indoors' dropped me off at lunchtime :cry: , I managed to start the ute by using some old pliers to connect the fat wires at the solenoid and sent her off to buy a new solenoid - and not to turn off the engine!

She did as asked and when I got home a 1/2 hour faffing around and the new solenoid was fitted and ute started as normal (Probably spent 20 of those minute finding/replacing the tools I had to use :-D !)

Spent the day modifying a Mk1 rear valance to fit my Ital estate and welded it on. Much better than the collection of holes arranged amongst metal that was there....
