Steam power

What's on YOUR drive? A Ford? A Merc? A VW? Whatever it is, I suspect there's a good chance it's a car, or maybe a van or a motorbike. However, that's not good enough for one local resident in our village; for him it has to be this rather magnificent steam traction engine. Normally, he has it covered over with a tarpaulin but today he had it uncovered while he gave it a bit of spit and polish.

Not sure how practical it is for nipping out for a pint of milk.
