Very nice photos. Love the old trucks. I see in the 5th photo, you have already picked out your restoration project or are yours being transported by the lorry in the 4th photo? LOL

Great job

No!... lol... no more restoration projects for me ... I have been restoring old vehicles for most of my adult life ... I'm almost at the end of my last one... a 1949 AEC double decker ex London bus . I find classic commercial vehicles far more interesting than classic cars .. I love buses... must be an age thing!

Love the double deckers. Sounds like a very fun project. I have always wanted to turn a greyhound into a tour bus but spend most my time trying to keep my current vehicles running so we can get to work. That bus/tow truck looks like someone was having fun. Look forward to seeing your finished project.

Yup.... In general terms (there are exceptions) it seems like us Brits would rather sit "over" it rather than "behind" it .... the engine that is! :D

... that old wrecker smiles at me every time I see her .... she wants me ... she needs me... she is waiting patiently for me to rescue her .. !

But the wife would divorce me if I was to start another resto... :?
