Well you're welcome to come and clear out our garage anytime Rog it's full of those kind of things - how about taking the scruffy 'ol welder that lives in there as well (and no I'm not referring to the red Clarke model)!! :D :D

I've captained an Eggheads team: we lost!

I've also been on Brain of Britain. Came second in my heat to the eventual winner, who caned everyone by subtle cheating: or perhaps it would be better to say playing the system.

The family car is a 1999 TD5 Discovery ES, my current legal (insured and tested) classic is a 1969 traveller 1275 in smoke grey.
I also have a taxed and tested ( very pretty and soon for sale) Austin A30 1955 four door 950cc.
I have a 1978 MG Roadster which has refused to leave my garage for the last ten years, I have a 1995 Transit diesel which I keep spending money on but does not seem to look any better.
And last but not least I am curently in the process of disposing of the wifes beautiful little automatic Suzuki Wagon R with a genuine 30,000 miles but a knackered gearbox - wish me luck :(

Oh! I also have a BSc Hons in Building Surveying and Property Management and I am a member of MENSA but currently have no job (never placed much store in IQ tests) so if any one is looking :D :D .
