Well folks, I've gone and done it. In less than half an hour I splurged on a dream without telling the other half (who thankfully just smiled). She's a 1975 Citroen DS23 Pallas with electronic injection and a 5 speed manual gearbox. Genuine 2 family car and had $25000 spent on a rebuild in...

Morning all. I've just bought myself a lovely Sunbeam Toastermatic Toaster model AT-35...made in Australia in the early 1960's. It's in lovely condition with barely a mark on it...and those you can see have polished out.... Only problem is, it won't 'go down'. I have adjusted the carriage...
