Nice. Liking the Dodge (as well as the Heep, obviously!). One of my dream collection would be an early Power Wagon.

Cheers Terry. Too many of them bloody pixels for me to do it! I thought pixels were friendly little people a bit like gnomes but apparently they must get in my computer and bugger it up!

You need to resize them down so the width is 800. That way they fit on almost every computer / tablet / phone / etc and the forum will accept them.
Anyway, you have a nice toy collection :)

Those Hippos are awesome in the true sense of the word. They're up there with a bunch of other big things I'd love to drive one day.
