How do everyone.

just thought i'd post a few piccies from the Saturday afternoon, a couple of weekends ago, that me and my other half (Turbomaster1984) spent over at James' (Kirbymodel2c) place.

Both me and rob had a fantastic time there and were bowled over by the superb collection of Kirby cleaners James possesses, as well as many other bits and pieces which combine to form a superb history of the brand.

Before being let loose on the kirby's though, we headed out to the garage to see the machines that resided in there.

Now you will all have to bear with me, as i am still learning about cleaner histories so i may be inaccurate in some of my statements.

Here goes.......

first off an Electrolus Z350E, still in its original box and in pristine condition.

I am sure that James will fill in some of the histories of the cleaners, so any questions ask away!

(there you are James - dumped you right in it.....tee,heee,hee).

A great looking Z302 from electrolux...

Although i serached all over the machine, i couldnt find the guns and rocket launchers. These must have been removed at some stage in its life!

Its a bit over the top maybe.............

The Kirby's are coming....

but its a brief foray into the realm of 'HOOVER' and some great machines from the mid to late 1980s and early 90s

Indeed they are a nice turbopower and turbolite.

Never touched a Turbolite before that day and they are indeed very light!
