Probably! I saw a plot for sale with planning permission for £60k I just wondered if it was viable

Nice price where is it, yes is very doable
Plots here without planning are 100k++ and thats not a big plot.
I know where there is a stunning house thats been abandoned & vandalised set in a valley
hills on either side with a small stream (burn in scotchland) nice bit of land with it.
Ive been waiting years for it to come up for sale as id sell my house an live in a wendyhoose
& rebuild it.

I'm really loving my passive rear wheel steering, bit weird at first, thought the back end was loosing grip but the harder you push it round a bend the better it steers, like it's on rails

Wheel bearings fine, it has passive steering built in to the back axle, it didn't work properly because the old rubber mounts were perished but now with new ones the handling has been transformed

Love yer honesty!

The Stanley steamer, was powered by a combustion engine, just not an internal combustion engine!
My great grandpa had one, but then you knew that....

Steam powered cars.
So cool!

Did he know Francis or Freeland or did he just see a Kodak pic of them

Another for me

Never knew there were so many manufacturers although tons only made one or two.
Who knew the first Peugeots were steamers?
And people were still sticking Stanley engines in cars right up to 1970?

When Wifey worked for P & O on the cruise ships, when she went around the Caribbean islands she made sure when they stopped off that she bought a bottle of the rum from each island she visited.
If you get this stuff flown in, as it were, you must be Scotland's authority on it.
You should write a book!
