I’m an 18 year addict of the r8 having owned all dirivitives bar the l-series. Spanning approximately 235 cars in my previous possession. At my peak insanity I had 14 cars at once, when I had the previous Rover Revival.

23 years of driving it went:
Ford Orion 1.6 Ghia
Opel manta get
Astra 2.0 get mk1
Ford escort rs turbo mk1
Rover 214s (full poverty spec and manual choke)
Rover 216 coupe (amaranth)
And so on for 18 years....*laughs*

Today was wood work day, any spanner monkey will agree, a solid desk is a godsend. Especially with grinders and vices attached to try and get that bush out or cup off a driveshaft that refuses to move.

Well here's mine, over £100 in wood and £20 worth of screws, i've created a masterpiece of immovable object, so i put some tubs on it... :laughing2
