Try that again.......

The Niki               =  2
spare Niki engine   =  2
Jeep Cherokee      =  6
Loncin Motorbike   =  1
GMC Generator     =  1
Air Compressor x 2 =  2

So 14, hmmm seems a bit inadquate.....
I know, 9 x Cox 049 model aircraft engines = 9.

So that brings it to a total of 23, bit more respectable.

Many years ago I lived in a small town that had a night cart (an old Bedford). It was the fasted truck around because it had 60 piss tins.

Hi all recently bought a cool 500, a GRP 500 replica body, without the roof, grafted onto a bis chassis so two more added therefore now 40.

A good song to go with that car while driving is "Dune Buggy" by Oliver Onions ;D
"One more drink, Lacikám?"

All about car restoration can be found in the song
"Got my mind set on you" by George Harrison...
