Talking What's in my drive

Daily driver is an elderly 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee 2.5TD

Easier for me to get in & out of when I am a bit frail & was cheap



Juniors old hair dressers car ... 99 Hyundai Coupe .... Needs MOT but probably buy the time I have done the MOT work & paid for the parts, It'll earn the same net anount in scrap

2 X Box trailers.

Finaly, the scrap pile is growing ever larger again

You should just release the handbrake on that one Bonz and walk away

Being as it has the typical drum in disk type handbrake setup, it is quite likely to do that on its own

Renewed the whole shooting match last year & still sruggled to get enough handbrake effort to pass the MOT.
I am lead to believe that this is quite common is this type of handbrake arrangement ( Certainly been my experience over the years )

That's our Yorkie acting as co-driver, he takes care of some of the more difficult driving for me

i used to have this, but i sold it to save up for my roadster build. Was completely standard apart from a single turbo conversion. The lag was terrible, but it was like a space ship once it got going. Selling it was one of my biggest mistakes, it was absolutely immaculate with just 20k on the clock from new. It once won a show and shine competition at elvington. Iv got to make sure that my roadster is something special to do it justice...
