SHOW US YOUR MAN CAVE

[Pondrew]

Main them has been formula 1 1950/1970 and the Land Speed Record, especially the Campbell and Bluebird legacy. Recently I've got back into making model aircraft, especially jet from the 1950s to date in 1/48 and 1/32 scale........its taken 25 years of brain washing but the wife is okay with the obsession these days Sorry the photos are a bit grainy.....almost forgot, enjoy collecting original lemans and old motor racing posters.....

The old petrol pump in the hallway.......there is NO WAY my wife would allow THAT! She has made me hide my dad's grandfather clock in the dining room, as apparently it looks 'old and tatty'. I could just imagine the conversation.."I'm getting a 6ft old petrol pump dear to display in the house". "No you fecking ain't"!
