All the toys are out!

[datsundrew]

Today saw the stiletto squeezed out of the conservatory , checked over, polished and taken out for a good run, it's brilliant to drive it again (it has a BMW K1100 in it!)
I'm off to Haynes breakfast in the morning with friends, the line up of cars on the drive and garden is quite varied.....

Is that yours posted in the sighting thread? Seems an odd coincidence... nice little collection you have going there!

I was thinking the exact same thing!

Awesome collection.

Is that a towbar on the bike-engined Sunbeam? Do you tow anything with it?

[datsundrew]

I've not looked at the spotted thread.....I'll have a look now.
Yes, the towbardoes get used a fair bit, it tows this that I made..

What a great post to wake up to.


All your toys win.

Somehow was not aware of the teardrop and love it.

[datsundrew]

Thanks! I made if a few years ago. The mini turned up this morning.... and



my datsun 120a hiding in the garage!

[datsundrew]

In the making.......

[waveman1500]

Nice work.
The shelf/loft over the Datsun is very impressive as well, although it looks a bit scary! Three cars in the garage as well, nice!

Does the teardrop live outside in this arrangement? I've always thought they would be the kind of thing which needs to be kept undercover to keep it in good condition.

[datsundrew]

I keep the van on a local farm, I wrap it up in an old tarp to make it look like a pile of junk.......it keeps well. It's covered in wood effect Lino, and very well sealed and insulated all around, it stays very dry in there so far.

[datsundrew]

The shelf hangs off the 9" RSJ above the roller door, and has 2 legs at the back, 100mm square box with boarded top......it's taken lots of weight so far, and gives much needed storage!

Impressive collection. Well played. I've got a chum building a teardrop at the moment, he'd be very interested in yours.

[craig1010cc]

I've spotted you out and about a few times recently in Trow, never realised it was yours or it had a bike lump in it

[datsundrew]

Thanks! It was quite easy to build once I got my head around it. Weight is the key issue, it's 6mm ply and cellotex sandwich sides and base, ply top and celotex , 30 mm angle chassis. Weighs in about 180 kegs.
Craig......what to you drive? Hope to meet you sometime if you are local.

What an awesome stash! Need more pics and info on them all!

Normally a dull Passat TDi, but I have got a mini in the garage. I am indeed local, are you planning to take your mini out on the Moles Moonracker run on the 23rd?
