I was too young for a grifter *sob*

I think they stopped making them in the early eighties....my first bike was an orange Halfords bmx!!!

I have a garage but the lighting sucks and their isn't a door. lol. more like a carport I suppose. If it was my house I would put a door on and install flouresent lighting and probably add a radiator but I don't want to put all the money into someone elses home.  :)

I have my mk1 in my aunts garage and my house mate has a unit where I do most of my work but I cant leave any car there for long so its only for jobs that take a couple of days max. Great to get out of the rain though. I will be taking my mk1 engine there soon to strip it down on his engine bench. I also have a chopper but its one of the small ones, are they worth much?
