    Rainwater collection

    Hey FR8, those tanks look to be 'bout between 6000 & 8000 litres each mate. My old concrete one was smaller than those (as much as i can figure by looking at pic's) and it was a 4500 litre one. The one i have now is a 10,000 litre concrete one up in the back paddock.

    The Modernist

    I think you mean 'Streamline Moderne' when it comes to architecture. I'm a HUGE fan of Art Deco & Streamline Moderne. I was born in the Art Deco capital of the southern hemisphere, Napier. New Zealand.

    A Garage for English Cars in the Far East
