Interesting. Which one have you got and how do you find it?

Its a cracklemaster one off Ebay and its brilliant as in you don't have to store loads of CDs its all on a small card. As for sound I don't know because its in the Rover and the 3 speakers (one busted)are not the best  ;D

No, it started out life as an ordinary TR7 but the owner before me spent £14000 on a restoration. It went well :)

When did he do that as the 3.9 engine didn't enter production until 1989 and was only fitted the range rover

It would have been about 95/96 as I bought the car in 97. From what I know it had Offenhouser inlet manifold, Holley 4 barrel carb, a mild knobbly stick, extractor manifolds and the internals messed with but don't know what.

Of all the things that you have ever bought, what five items have been the best (excluding the Omega!!) and have most improved your life in some way?

Its really hard to define, but I think mine are:

1/ Engagement/wedding ring (sorry if sickly!)
2/ Clearview stoves (woodburners) (sadly left in my old houses)3/ 1988 Citroen 2CV (sadly written off by an old bat)
4/ Memory foam orthopedic pillow-goes every where I sleep
5/ My little collection of jolly tonka, models & diecast to represent cars I have owned

What are yours and why?


Our two huge log burners , been an absolute Godsend. Thanks E bay !
Our land that Sheilagh and I (literally) built our house on , best 18 months ever .
Two Stenna one way ferry tickets from Swansea to Cork.
My 1976 Manta ,bought 34 years ago  :y
Our two Snow Leopard and Bengal cats. :)
This is Barney, sadly no longer with us but what a character



lovely :)

but havent seen a cat even similiar with a fur like that :-?

Here's a couple of photos of our male Snow Leopard and female  Bengal , Leo and Lilly.
They are both a registered breed called Serengeti's ,they were originally called Savanahas but the breeder had to change the type due to the latter being registered in America.
They are Siblings and their family tree is very intersting having a Snow Leopard three generations ago on the male side.
They are the most friendly .tame and intelligent cats I have ever encountered having traits more like a dog than a cat , and have brought us so much pleasure over the years we've had them.
Sadly Lilly , the cinamon Bengal , lost her battle with cancer last week and passed away . She had fought valiently for a year under going ground breaking Electro Chemeotherepy and major surgery to remove the tumour from her throat but it took her in the end. To say we miss her is a vast understatement and the vacuum left is tangeable .
Just wish we could turn the clock back.......... :'(
Thanks for all your interest
Don

1) Sammy Sledgehammer (sadly, no longer with us  :'()
2) Percy Pickaxe (a worthy replacement to Sammy)
3) Charlie Clubhammer (for those hard-to-reach arsehole items)
4) Marty Mallet (for when I really don't want to cause too much damage)
5) First aid kit, for when above turns on me


The first 4 were worth every penny, as they help keep my blood pressure under control.
