While chatting at work (we are all petrol-heads) someone asked, "when did
the classic car bug bite". For me it was when invited to a relations wedding
(nightmare for a young lad) the best man took pity...Drove me back to the
reception in his 1932 MG J2......I was hooked, still am!!

About 10 years ago I guess. My mate at the time had a MG Midget, and the
idea of having a car to tinker with along with free tax & cheap
insurance appealed to me.

I went out in search, found an Austin A40 Farina which made a perfect
first resto project, and have been hooked ever since. At one point I had
14 cars round here - now down to just the 10, 7 of which are Mini
variants!
