Seem to remember seeing a trike for sale in the last couple of years but never seen one. The power steering coupled with wheels in the centre would probably explain why friend Trevor said it was a pig to handle particularly in top gear!

The farm disappeared and Trevor's farther moved the family and heavy horses to Saffron Gardens farm at Horndon on the Hill to work for the Mee family. Trevor has told me that the far...

Photo posting

Hi
I am sure it has been covered many a time but I have a couple of old photos that members may find interesting.
What do I do? They are scanned on to my computer.
