Title: Too many cars?
Post by: Blackpig on April 18, 2011, 09:53:31 PM
Is there such a thing as too many cars for 1 person to own? I think not, especially when your lovely husband buys you this to add to the collection ;D


Thanks to Movinghotrods, who delivered it this evening.

What a lovely hubby.  The Humber's not bad either. They have a great look and yours looks in good nick.  Will you need to do anything to it?

We were talking on Sunday and step son said he really thought that we lived in a black and white world when we used to say about things in the black and white days. Reckons it took him a little while to realise what we meant :)
