Living in the country lots of the farmers have an old tractor in a shed or maybe two

There’s regular local tractor runs which bring out some interesting sights
He actually “discovered” 147 tractors for his auction in the end, sold them all apart from around 20!
I even had a go in a forklift truck for the first time in 35years when i helped load loads of pallets onto the winning customers

Many farmers collect old tractors where I live too. They tend to paint them all up and 'display' them in their front gardens. :?
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!
