Hi, my name is Colin Brookes.
I am retired from building, designing and surveying boats as
an occupation and now living in Paeroa, New Zealand. My hobby
has been for many years the collecting and restoring to a usable
or show condition Vintage and classic cars and Military Vehicles
and equipment. I have persued my hobby in both England and to
a lesser extent in New Zealand. The Military Vehicles I have
generally completed almost or all the work myself, but have employed
the services of professional painters and sometimes panel-beaters
for part of the work on the classic cars. And last on my bucket-list
is the design and construction of pulse-jet rocket cars |
