I'm still prefer the 70s, and working with older cars that dont rely on a computer to service.

Ive used the hosting and some pages from my old business site,Baconsdozen Imperial tools,for this personal site. Baconsdozen ,which was tool shop in Lowestoft Engand became a chandlers but then as the British fishing fleets vanished turned to selling imperial measurement based tools worldwide for older vehicles and machinery made long before the metric system became common. I still have a collection of old classic cars,this site is about them,other things connected with the business,the fishing industry (and its decline) and Lowestoft etc.
