| Introduction | I'm an ex-pat Pom, born 1961, now living in Australia. 34 years in the UK (apart from a year and a half traveling in the early 80s) in Melbourne since '95. I grew up on old British cars and (mostly) Japanese bikes. Had quite a few adventures on/in some of them. This blog is partly my history of those times but mostly an irregular diary of my life living with a 1963 Rover 3-Litre and a 1974 Rover 3500 and as my daily drives. The Rover 3500 replaced a 1974 Leyland Marina in Sept 09. I'm not even sure why I'm doing this - but hey - you might find it moderately entertaining, in which case it is worth it. Maybe it is a diversion from work stress. Who knows? ☺ |
