Our Cars (dream or actual)

@ArloVShop:
My brother just bought this puppy, second owner, first paint Chevy C10:
Plans for it include:
-Add shops logo, and maybe some from a certain brand we all love.
-Re-upholster bench seat in 21oz denim
-More power (might go bigblock, or if I have my way, a modern breathed on turbo diesel engine for immense torque and good mileage
)
-Better brakes, because no servo assistance on this tank is suicidal at the moment
-Work on the steering and suspension, as the steering wheel has the infamous American steering wheel slop.The police used these as Black Marias in my hometown. Windowless of course.

This is mine but still only a dream. Importing makes jeans custom overseas charges look like nothing, this one or a flat bed ford around 1955 era. It's a 1947 Chevy /GMC pick up truck and the first post war pick up designed by GM
Always had a passion for trucks, love the functionality and in your face unpretentiousness of them and they are BIG. Determined to own one one day! Couple of dogs in the back and logs for the fire… Another passion log fires...

I dream of cars, all mashed up and deposited in scrap yards everywhere in order that the roads can realise their primary purpose; to be the playground of Motorbikes
….....i was only bloody messin' about;

@giles I love that sooo much, could even turn it into my screen saver. For me it's also the process of making and keeping a fire going. Outdoors or indoors, indoors in a grate of course not that much of a pyro [emoji51] yes, making fires I think it's one of the few things my Dad bigged me up on as a kid so I still make them whenever I can!

Don't want to derail this thread too much, but Madame Buttonfly and I were late into the office this morning as we had a 'load" of wood delivered yesterday and we decided we needed to stack it neatly. We are away for a couple of weeks as of tomorrow, job when we get back is to build a slate roofed version of this in the rear courtyard…..Can't wait, especially now I have found a local pikey who is over generous and under priced with his loads. Getting the thread back on track, he and I each have a Land Rover 110, so we bonded.....

I remember wood stacking. We had a stoat that "lived" in our wood pile, well probably not lived but spent his days catching mice for his supper.
I must admit I am very envious @Giles and @madame Buttonfly. Barcs and I are hoping to move back somewhere rural as soon as we can. Thanks for the very small derail it brought back some good memories.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
