I lost sleep over Christo's SII but I'm cured now - for a year or so?
One day he'll buy one of the garages Richard keeps sending pictures of and line them all up in a showroom.

Well I bought a farm in Wales so maybe I will have a place one day to have them all in one place but for now some has to go to pay for the farm refurbishment.
There will be a nice Aprilia up for sale too next week.

So - we need a display show room for you somewhere between London and Wales... A Lancia connection would be good. From a selfish point of view with a roadhouse type café next door but I'm open to an imported American diner or convert a Lancia bus.
Richard ?

Whereabouts in Wales is the farm Christo? I presume it has been bought on the basis of a good range of outbuildings rather than a large acreage of farmland ..... or is there a side to you of which we do not know  ? Andy |

It's in the black mountains with great views but not been lived in for 20 years.
It's been harder than any car to restore old stone buildings are not for the faint hearted.
No barns yet but they will come hoping to have a proper workshop by next year as the nearest neighbour is 2 miles away.
Some of the cars got to go to pay for it all "to old money fact of life"

Have you tried Ty Mawr for lime products and similar. They cannot be far from you !!!
Good luck with both cars and house.

Not a bus, but the Master Robert Motel in the background on the Great West Road, at the Ace of Spades Corner. The nearest fuel point for cars destined for the important rallies leaving from the area http://forums.autosport.com/topic/27980-the-steering-wheel-club/Richard ? David |

Also The Master Robert is mentioned here. I did work there occasionally as a repair man but never knew of the motorimg connection. The Pall Mall clubs had other stories to tell though http://forums.autosport.com/topic/166654-north-london-ecc/ |

David's post requested a showroom with a roadhouse on the London to Wales road. So on the Great West Road to Wales, the Ace of Spades garage with motoring connections could be the showroom, and probably no hardship to cross the road to The Master Robert Motel 'Pit and Paddock Bar' also with Motorsport connection. Other suggestions welcome
