[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I had a white 2500S with a poo brown vinyl roof & stag alloys . . . thought it was the nuts at the time  with that wooden dash & nice Smiths clocks  , not quick at all  but so thirsty . . . died of tin worm 

A lot of those old brit cars look so small & so ugly nowadays IMO     

I had a 2000E corsair with rostyles & a big bore back box  . . .  look at a corsair now . . . WTF  did I like about that ?

.....as did mine, Al.

My example was mimosa yellow with black vinyl quarter panels. No vinyl roof though.

My mate's first car was a Toledo and it had a rocker cover gasket made from tin foil!   

It worked though!

Just like British motorcyles.......when they went wrong (which they often did) they could be repaired by the side of the road, supposedly.

Er...no.

Far too advanced and reliable.

Er...no.

Far too newer.

A replacement for the old 1300 if memory serves.

Nostalgia at it's finest, you will be purring on about Austin Maxi gearboxes, the Princess superior wedge design and those icons of sophistication, style and reliability next; the Austin Aggro and Morris Marina!

Just nipped to the shops, and a young girl was turning back round at the same place as me, so as we passed each other, I politely suggested that due to the misty/foggy conditions that turning her lights on might be a good idea.
Her reply ............ I'm only going down the road!!!  To which I said ...... so - when someone hits you cos they could/didn't see you, it'd be OK cos you were only going a short distance. The reason why she might want her lights on in the conditions went completely over her (blonde) head! 

I was then following her as she turned off the main road and I got a hand gesture that suggested I play with myself!

No wonder with numpties like that the powers-that-be say we've to now have day time running lights 

That was cruel, I bet you made her forget the moves to make to get the fuel cap on the right side at the local garage!

Actually, being a Citroen C2, the filler cap would have been on her left

There was nothing wrong with the Morris Marina especially in Coupe form with the 1800 TC motor!
