It's absolutely wonderful seeing these beautiful animals strolling around our gardens ❤️ they look like they're looking for food or water they look healthy as generally we don't see them until its getting dark, they don't seem to be staggering or injured which is great to see, if you haven't already maybe put a low dish of meaty kitten biscuits ( kibble) and water and im sure they will soon be back, we had a hedgehog doing the exactly the same only afew days ago late evening and we watched her from our raised deck capturing her every movement through our garden here in Devon UK we've since made a house , feeding station down the bottom part in a safe sheltered area and hoping we get many more visits and many of us who are trying to save the Nations favourite Hedgehogs from extinction making a hedgehog highway i since joined up with Hedgehog Street its a brilliant online website which gives so much advise on what to do if we get hedgehogs & how to house them through the autumn/winter times in our own gardens or if spotted on roads etc and we can also help them with us telling them where we've spotted them on a map 🦔 it obviously helps them by us hedgehog lovers roughly giving numbers of hedgehogs spotted in our area. Hope you get plenty more visits and if you need more advice or you want to help with where you've spotted them & how nany maybe join Hedgehog Street 🦔 i subscribe to a channel on KZread called Hedgehog Hollow its brilliant 👍 hope this is something your interested in and thank you for sharing this wonderful video 🦔

Driving around that old housing estate with so many obstacles and in drizzling rain seemed odd. This beauty needs to be kept in cotton wool in a nice dry environment.

Hi Lee, The wheels are as I understand it from a Triumph TR6, the engine is a standard 1622 B series and the rear axle is MGB. There was plans to fit a MGB engine and overdrive gearbox but the car was sold before that happened. Cheers.

Hi. This brings back memories. When I was a lad in the fifties I bought his book "Specials" ( 0pen in front of me now) and also a book called "Building and racing my 750 specisl". Can't remember the author now. I built a quite good looking Austin 7 Special which went well but never got registered. Next car a 1930 Bugatti! Regards from Argentina!
@Dazsvintagestuff2 ай бұрын
Hi Robert, I often look through Specials by John Bolster my copy is quit tatty now. Another good book by John Bolster is Motoring is my Business, the author of Building and racing my 750 was P J Stephens it came out in about 1953. I can only dream of owning a Bugatti a type 35 would be great. Regards from a rather damp and cold UK.

I owned one for a few years in the early 90’s during my late teens - light grey with white stripe auto trans that I had bought from my grandfather. Such a class act everyone enjoyed riding in it. My brother wrote it off into a power pole while having an epileptic fit. He lived, the car died 😢
Great video, with beautiful MG's at the start. I rode an Ambassador, 150cc I think, in the mid 60's. Never heard mention of that make since. Me and my mate bought an old Indian Brave with runner boards about that time. It needed a new exhaust so we took it into a back street motor mechanic who told us to come back in 3 weeks as he would need time to get the part. Went back 3 weeks later and his shed/workshop had closed up and that's the last we saw of it. Cost us £25 as well. Bar**ad.

According to babvven and tebbven laws soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.

The only sidecar I've had was one of those sidewinders that were around in the 80's, had it on a 250 BSA they leaned with the bike when you went around corners they were funny little things but great for camping. At the moment I've got the hankering for a proper sidecar but it'll need to be the right one so it looks right on an old Velo.
