Mood: Growing old-DISGRACEFULLY!
Bearing in mind I am older than you lot-look at the front page if you don't believe me-most of my cars were classics compared to you'se.
Learned to drive in my dads Morris Oxford Traveller, 1955 4 speed column gearchange, drove my mums Morris Minor-not a minor 1000 mind but the old 850 sidevalve job-that was my first car. I had a T60/4 Berkeley 3 wheeler before that-like a mini E-type with 1 wheel on the back and a mighty 325cc Excelsior 2stroke twin engine, front wheel drive as well. It went very well for a little 'en, good cornering too, it was about the only 3 wheeler you couldn't turn over-and yes we did try. Mate of mine had a 3 wheel Reliant, we could get that onto 2 wheels in a straight line-scary or what-although we didn't think so at the time.........
I then progressed through a Mini Cooper, Cooper S 1340, Frog Eye Sprite complete with 1600cc half race MGA engine-always breaking halfshafts that one-Mk2 3.8 Jag, Triumph TR3A, Renault 16, 6 VW beatles of various capacities. Then I got a company car and haven't owned a car for over 30 years. I have owned loads more than named but those were the major ones.
