When I was sixteen, I had a Honda SS50. It was fine, but my mate had a Puch Grand Prix. It was brilliant. It looked like a proper motorbike, had a rev counter and the speedo needle just about touched 60 ! I was dead jealous. Then I bought a KTM for 50p. All I had to do to get in running was make a woodruf key for the flywheel. A new front exhaust down pipe was £7 though. I used it a lot, including three trips to Bournemouth to strip an Isetta that had been dumped in a car park. I've always had a soft spot for sports mopeds of the late 70's. One I fancied but never got was a Garelli Tiger Cross or Rekord.
Dad, I think you have enough toys... You filled up the garage and the main barn, so much you had to put the cars that didnt fit in front of my Nobel body, next to my chassis, next to the biody on the trailer, behind my mower, etc...
I think I should get a few more toys though!
There are a load of cars I will want to hahe at some point in my life: Panhard Dyna Z (as soon as possible, to do up after my schitt(oops, did I mispell it???)), TG500 (obviously, but only if I'm lucky to find one! If I ever get a really bad KR project I will make a TG replica, maybe fit a 500cc exelcsior enginge in or something, like the Frisky Sprint), Isetta, Mochet (the newer models, always loved them, but if I ever get a project I would "tune it up" with a bigger engine etc), maybe a Vespa 400, wouldnt mind another Nobel (either if I'm lucky try and find one of the different pickup models, otherwise have an unusual colour like dark green and white, normal model), KR175, and a couple more cars.
YEs, I have taste, and yes, I hope to own at least one of each in my life, but first I have to get a job on Computer Programming that should pay for them with extra pocket money to spend on a nice garage
