G'day Grumpy, I have a term for doggie-doo (I call them barkers nests), anyway I try not to get caught up with this brand or that, I have never been a holden or ford man, with me I like to get them to start easily, sing sweetly and cuts the grass well, that is the challenge.
I very rarely buy many parts, my outlay at the tip shop is not great.
I do spend alot of time fixing them though, not too worried about that, it is a hobbie for me (must admit it is growing)
Yes I am constantly going through and getting rid of parts or bits I may not use, I agree got to keep that under control.
The joy for me is being resourceful and making something useful from something that has been thrown out.
Cheers hey.


Happy is he who penetrates the mystery of things.
