Thanks for the welcome.
I wasn't aware that I was carrying the number of the beast 

I have to admit to a perverse attraction to the late 2A models, something which some folk may find difficult to understand.
I have a scruffy 1970 88 diesel which is my daily driver,  and clocks up lots of miles,  and a '69 88 petrol which will be more carefully restored and a bit shiny

I've also been known to own and drive the odd American 4x4 including those powered by huge V8 engines.
Clearly some of the more conservative types may see this as behaviour that is clearly beyond the pale.

But what the Hell,  I never was someone who cared about conforming.

As for the little furry critters, I'm down to five now, three of which are sadly nearing the end of their days, but I have two new apprentices who are absolutely mad for it.
I'll be bringing them with me to various events as moral support.
