And he will be 1000000000000000000000000000000000 times bang on

I know....

...Absolutely nothing wrong with a Silver Shadow, but the combination of white bodywork and gold brightwork (check out the radiator grille and door mirrors in the photo) and the not-very-good stretch job just didn't quite present the image a Rolls usually does. A distant relative of mine once owned a 1973-ish Shadow in two-tone beige-over-brown coachwork. That had more or less the same effect

I had noticed the gold brightwork - fairly hideous. This is our one:

There is one of these for sale just down the road from us, it is also hideous and very very rusty, the guy wants $18k for it, he's 'aving a laugh!

Yes. A white one. Went like sh*t off a shovel, got him in trouble more than once.

Did you move to Canada just so you could get a big enough garage?

Oh, and DH thinks you should move to Ontario, and bring the Spitfire (but please don't sell it to him!!!).

Sadly the garages still aren't big enough, hence the desire for a small acreage so he can have a big barn, cars are usually bought, done up, played with, got bored of and sold for the next project, however we keep buying keepers. As you can see the Spitfire is (loosely) up for sale, I know shipping to Ontario is abut $1000...

OK, so what is the full list of what you have? I will make sure DH is wearing a bib when I read it to him...

erm...lots...erm

1970 Rolls Royce - for sale at auction
1973 Triumph Spitfire - for sale, properly in the spring
1973 Dodge Challenger, just bought as a project - will be turned into a 1970 RT clone.
1973 Ford Mustang.
1976 Gran Torino, just bought as a basket case, I mean erm a project
1976 Gran Torino, a keeper
1980 something Trans Am (Smokey and the Bandit) a keeper, he always regrets selling these, so he's not to sell this one.
1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer
A Freelander and a Range Rover

Oh and We've just bought a 1978 Ford Capri, hence why my Spitty is up for sale, hoping the Capri is as good as it looks. I'm afraid to say there may be one or two others he has tucked away - out of sight out of mind as it were

I know it sounds crazy, it does to me when we start to list them and we don't spend on ciggies or booze and it's OH's hobby, he loves turning a piece of crap into something gorgeous, we enjoy the cars until he gets bored and then a new one will be started, as long as he doesn't get us into financial difficulties I am happy for him to do it, in fact they are a better investment than a mutual funds...

One reason we are looking eventually for more land is so he can actually have stuff out of the way and in pieces in a barn without having to move everything around all the time.

He is drooling......

Ahh, bless 'im We get through a lot of polish

What model Capri did you get ? Mk III 3l S coupe was my favourite of that year

Would love to get my hands on an 81-86 2.8 injection version - 3 times I almost had my hands on one back in the uk but 3 times it fell through (once because I stupidly thought a 1976 Porche 924 looked a better deal )

It's one of these babies, hasn't got the stripes (yet?). Apparently they were sold in North America for 3 years. Mine is a 2.8 Ghia four speed. We pick her up next weekend and hopefully get her running after a service, then we can do whatever else needs doing, a decent polish is fairly important.

Bad form and all that to quote oneself but we sold the Rolls at auction today. Today was a good day

What has speaking Polish got to do with the motor?
