I'm lost in admiration, the work done on both cars is wonderful to behold and largely beyond my ability to do it.
Life in growing up period was tough, Dad was an electrical engineer in a steelworks through WWII and so had a real "make do and mend" capability, his pride and joy was an electric drill, the only power tool in the house other than a vacuum cleaner.
Mum and Dad did all the decorating, gardening, household repairs, car servicing and so on.
I learnt a lot from him, but also like him I never enjoyed doing it all like him and over the years we have been happy to pay professionals to do what I didn't enjoy doing.
This is why I have an Aero S4 Chassis car...
Oh, and like John V6's wife, my wife firmly believes that camping is for kids.. hotel or rented cottage is essential if we travel!
