 Treated myself to a brand new Velocette Venom

Honda Nighthawk, Bought to return to motorcycling after so many years not riding, so a good base for road confidence and experience before trading in for the Goldwing shown below.

Vans

Ford Transit 1600
Very good workhorse is the Ford Transit, so have had two of them to use with my occupation at the time and it served it`s purpose well.

This was followed by yet another Transit, and was again used for work and also camping.

Volkswagen Campervan






05.12.1998. When that vehicle expired I bought this Campervan, but unfortunately it was a complete load of rubbish, because of so many bad alterations and I was very glad to get rid of it and sold it on which was fortunate.










02.04.97. Finally I bought this Ford Escort 35 van and used this for work and also for Camping, as it would house all the equipment I required at the time.  Died a death in the end and so decided to use the campervan for work and then reduce my workload henceforth.

Cars


Morris Minor which I swapped for my Velocette m/c circa 1958
