Hi Pat, from a very wet north of England, I like the converted ambulance, which looks in very good condition. I drive a Mercedes Ambulance over here, I'm a Paramedic, 60 next year, I hope you post some of your older pics.

Photoman I had your camera and 5 lenes in a bag was a great camera. I went to digital hasselblad H3D-39 and sold the mamiya 645 K1000S for only250. complet but no one is looking for film cameras now.I paid close to 20K for the hassy with 2 zoo lenes.but boy does it take nice picks and with 41mp.file use 35mm 16mp cameras aslo pentax.

Good choice Pat, the Mercs are always in the workshop because they continually break down, given the chance I would always choose a Ford.
I think your a bit of a dark horse here, what with flash cars and camper vans, but I would guarantee your pics will be slick, just like your motors.
