Hi everyone,
I couldn't resist, seems like these images could do with a caption ot two...

Dave

Would anyone care to provide me with any information on the larger vehicle ? It'll save me ploughing through the reference books.

Sorry that this one has only got a motorcycle in it. I can't think of a printable caption either (I know what I would have been saying !)
