73 years young, love it! Welcome Bobcat and a Happy New Year to you also.

Not bored at all, fascinated in fact!!! I love guys like you who know a thing or two, decades of experience and knowledge of cars. Brilliant  :)

I hope I have half the energy you have when I am 73!!!!

A warm welcome from another Tiger Pinto owner, and a Fisher Fury, and a BEC!!! I think you may possibly be the 3rd Raffo owner in the club now? Love the gullwings!!!

Hello Bobcat,

Good to hear from you, I think Mr Tone may now have your Belva?
I have one I am rebuilding, and we have jeremy who has posted has the red one too.

I have to say I secretly hanker after a hustler 6 wheeler!
