Default Why I'm single

Last I checked you cant drive Jewellery, or paint it green (which would be a vast improvement).

The 'taking up space' argument I havent thought of a comeback yet. Tony Smith where are you??

Sounds like you may have to start getting one on the road lads.

At least not some Canadian wives. Mine seemed OK with my stuff at first, but that could have been just the courting and early marriage grace period. What clinched it was when her sister (the one with the neutered, tool-deprived, TSN addicted husband) told her "she'd never let her husband do ANYTHING like that" and to "make him [me !!!] sell it". My sweetheart got her back up and has not wavered in her support.

Well, only once. Wearing her house coat was probably not a good idea when she slide into a vehicle to help me bleed the hydraulics. The dam coat thing somehow shifted and allowed bare flesh to touch the cold steel floor. I bleed brakes all by myself now.

No restoration started on any yet, still in buying mode. Not original engine in this one but I do have the original in the front. Was set up to be driven from back with hydraulic steering.

This one I believe is the remains of a tank hunter but not 100% sure, just going by the hood.

This is all that is left of the carrier my dad bought after the war, he paid $50.00 for it complete and was even delivered here to town.
