    Patricks Trucks

    Thanks for the kind words Michel, however I went off topic, but I tend to get carried away, and drift off into other parts of trucks 🤣 It’s a massive topic, that I’m glad others find interesting. I find the two pics of the trucks above quite interesting with the red line measurements I put in...

    Patricks Trucks

    Now, regarding Americans trucks, it’s really a way of life. Some with their partners, travel around the USA in their trucks and don’t have a home or a house, it’s their truck they live in. Sort of like a heavy haul mobile home. These are some great examples. I had many a tour through some of...

    Triumph Dolomite

    Very interesting indeed. It’s a shame that most of these wonderful cars turned into rusty unreliable shit boxes. I had the pleasure of working on a Triumph Toledo many years ago, however it too was a diabolical disaster and would not stay in tune, kept blowing head gaskets for no reason, and...

    [JT] The Road Rover

    Very interesting read Bryce. I hate to say it, (as I know your supreme dislike for them) could this be the first ever SUV?

    I think this is quite a magnificent looking car Styria. Love the colour. Is the lower air dam standard on these cars?
