Pat & Derek are possibly the nicest people I know. A lovely couple & I'm pleased to call them good friends. They also happen to be passionate about cars, particularly classic American cars & huge American trucks.
They run a catering business, based around a fleet of converted classic commercial vehicles, which lets them mix business with their hobby.
They own 2 or 3 acres of land just outside the village of Chiddingfold in Surrey & once in a while they host a bit of a get-together. Archie, Mrs Archie & I called in there this afternoon. The place is stuffed with vehicles & automobilia so always interesting to mooch around. Derek specialises in rebuilding engines -how many American V8s have you got here at the moment Del? Ooh, I dunno, 15 maybe. A pleasant way to spend a sunny afternoon. Thanks for the hospitality guys.  Wink
This fibreglass roadster with removable hardtop belongs to a local guy & was fresh out at last week's Wheelsday show.

Some of Derek's collection of Diamond T trucks plus his "Duel" Peterbilt tanker. Apparently he owns most of the Diamond Ts in the country.

Can't remember what it is, but used to sell shoes, (the sides open up with rows of racks & shelving). Belongs to one of Derek's mates who plans to turn it into a catering unit.

1940s Chevy panel van. Bought to sell but Pat took a shine to it so it's staying. Lovely art deco styled cab heater sat on the front fender is petrol driven.

Among the Mustangs & the Thunderbird & the Impala & God knows what else is their race car -an early 60s Ford Galaxy, which they race in classic meets all over the country. I love this.

Possibly the daftest dog in the World. The rubber chicken squawks when you squeeze it -he picks it up & carries it really, really gently cos apparently he thinks he's hurting it when it squawks.  Smiley
