MSA Millennium, Legend, and Studio Pro, Reese's restored Universal Direction guitar, as well as some older MSAs, several amps, new and old, and a Kemper Powerhead that I am really liking. Recently added a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored blue Rose, named the "Blue Bird" to the herd. Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic again that was built as a demo in the early '70s. I also added a '74 lacquer P/P, with wood necks.

My first car, a 1957 Austin A35.

Image
My second car, a 1960 Jaguar Mk. II.

Image
My third car, a 1961 Hillman Minx Mk II.

Image
My fourth car, a 1973 MGB Roadster.

All of those pictures were taken in Wales, by the way, on my way from Birmingham (my home town) to Ffestiniog.


To round it off, here is a recent photo of the 1932 Franklin that my daughter is restoring.

And here she is working on it:-

I think I finally found the perfect steel guitar "gigging" rig. Very quick and easy to park right on the corner of the stage. Make sure you have an extra helmet to keep the amplifier safe and you're ready to go!! :D

This was given to me by Sandra's Uncle. He bought it brand new off the showroom floor in 1965. It's a 66GT, 289, and fun to drive.

My Dad's first car. a 1934 Morris 8. During WW2 no cars were produced in Britain as the automobile manufacturers were all turned over to military vehicles, so while I was growing up in the 40s and 50s the country was full of pre-war cars, many of them in barely drivable condition.

Image
In 1986 I bought this Vokswagen Cabriolet. I wrecked it about three weeks later.:lol: :oops:

Image
We currently have two cars; this 2000 BMW 280i...
Image
...and this 1990 Acura Integra LX.
