All of these sites I post for your delight & delectation are researched at home, either late at night, or on a morning when I'm on afternoon shifts (or days off)

Ideal items for the DIY enthusiast who has a requirement for some groundwork carrying out prior to building his garage/extension.

This giant collection of cables, scaffolding and wiring is on display at Allerton Bywater, between Leeds & Castleford.

I like the Drag-Line, it'd just go on the Rubgy ground behind our house (diagonally) It's a very impressive, if antiquitated piece of kit.

Pity I haven't got room for a AVRoe Vulcan as well, I'd have one.
Did you see that Jeremy Clarkson programme (might have been 'Speed') where he bought an English Electric Lightning to put in the garden.
Wonder if he's still got it, or SWMBO made him get rid?

Trying to persuade one of my mates to follow up his ex-Mines Rescue Atkinson restoration with a Thornycroft Antar, Leyland Martian or a 'Stolly'. He's wavering....

Yes, well, erm...
8inch suspension lift, GMC 6.2V8 diesel & supplementaryair-brake system from Special Vehicles and you might just be able to tow it.

Mindst you you'd have to convert it to a 'Living van' as you'd have to sell the house (& the kids) to buy it.
