and if your avatar is a reliable guide, you're the type who chooses to do it with a Lewyt thus making you even rarer these days! Amazing golden Kirby, 2cvbloke! |

Nah, the Dyane6 weighs more than a 2CV (bigger panels to make it look more modern), so, it'd be more like the weight of a 2CV6... :P |

The MC Allister reminds me of the fairfax design. The shape of the body looks similar. ;) |

Very similar, but I tried putting a Fairfax power plant on the Mc Allister Hydro Vac shell, and it is slightly larger, must be some family history. |

Speaking of McAllister/Fairfax here's a fetching green beauty that appeared on eBay in September 2008. I am sad to say that my bid was NOT the winning one. :-(
Con-Vac Model R-1 made by the Conlon-Moore Corporation in Chicago. Sure, the tools are all newer replacements but with the J-wands and proper hose connections this would have been a rare beast to set beside the McAllister and Fairfaxes...Fairfaxi? |
