I'm going through all the old albums at home, we have thousands of 4x6 and 5x7 photos that we've had developed over the years and we have no digital copies of them. I'm going through at the moment and scanning them all in to hand copies out to the family, it's a long and arduous process but brings back some memories and means I've safeguarded the photos forever practically

Here's a few vehicles that we've had in the past that might interest us mechanical folk :thumbs

My Dad's Scania HGV truck that he drove for 19 years!!!! If only he still worked for KTC now, we'd all be laughing the amount of Oil he's be able to lose :doh

Dad's Land Rover SII V8 Play Thing, That's me BTW when I was 13, he sold this after he had a bit of an accident at a pay and play site in Whitchurch where the brakes failed, he went down a steep hill and ended up coming out of his harness and breaking his nose on the windscreen, me and my Dad ended up painting it Black by hand with a paint brush and some Hammerite :https://image.ibb.co/eQe8Cv/img005.jpg

Dad's Suzuki DR500 4 Stroke, shortly after my brother had come off the back and broke his leg
