Another email received from friend in US. I wonder if this DeanW is a distant relative of our very own DaveW?

"........Grandpa's Old Ford Garage in DeSoto, Kansas

When you see his picture, you won't believe he is in his 80's. Be sure to click on page 2, 3 and 4 for more of his cars.

This 84 year old is really talented!

Don't forget pages 2 & 3 & 4............"

What a brilliant character, such a talent too. I think that the 1932 Buick model 66S 4 passenger special coupe - straight 8 is my favourite! grin2

Thanks Geoffrey for posting. cheers flag

Fabulous. We can only hope to see 28 years in retirement, but Dean shows how it should be done. If I had the money I would love to have an old village garage and workshop, and storage for a dozen cars. Not to make a profit, but just to do what Dean has done. With a lathe and a few other bits of tackle, I'd be very happy.

Until that happens I'll have to 'make do'............ grin2
I must admit to wondering whether I could fill my retirement years buying a Mog, applying DaveW accessories, then selling it on and getting another. I quite fancy that.
