Interesting. I have always fancied a Disco jap import thing. Can't remember the funny name they gave em. But they do have the rep of always being in good condition, partly cos they don't salt their roads and partly cos the Jap MOT is excruciating and if it fails they are awful with you. I have tried to research this and all I have come up with is the test and the fact that lots of people "do not get involved with mechanics" so garage costs are high.

He's got some seriously big machine tools, even though he does drop them on the floor occasionally. I like the girder frame lifting gear across the top of his 'shop' too. I'd like to have something like that.
