Cars you have had…

[Blue Mist]

I've been driving in my car, it's not quite a jaguar, I bought in Primrose Hill from a bloke from Brazil. It was made in 59 in a factory on the Tyne. It says Morris on the door the GPO owned it before.

Remember when most window cleaners had a rancid Morris Minor van or Bedford HA van that was previously owned by one of the utility company's?

6 of us went to Anglesey in a Bedford CF during a world cup way back when....we had to connect the 12 v TV to the battery which was tied to the chassis and in the process of doing so the floor compartment fell out on the A55, we had to watch the match in full view of the tarmac flashing past at 40 mph with a howling gale blowing through the van...happy days.

Sorry to hear that mate but I can't complain about mine

Company car and still under warranty, so it's not all bad news

Yep, it sez GT somewhere on the thing, and it does growl! Breathe too heavily and yer thrown back in the seat! I've not got a delicate driving foot and I have to be extra careful!

I've got absolutely no complaints about my wife's growler, a wonderful place. Never heard it growl though"-)

good
mk2 escort popular plus great car did over 1000000 miles and so easy to work on ,body just rotted away eventually though

Great cars (especially to work on like you say) and miss that rear wheel drive, but a fucker in the wet, mine used to cut out if I went through a puddle fast, I remember bombing it down the M60 near Stretford , hitting a big long puddle on a slight bend, it cutting out and me just aquaplaning for what seemed like an age, just thought “oh dear, here I go” and probably the only time driving I thought my number was up, , so so lucky that at the last split second before I totally lost it, it gained some traction and I was able to steer it clear and get onto the hard shoulder.

Turned out the distributor caps had an issue for letting in water like that and cutting out, so ended up fitting it with a pink Marigold glove, worked a treat.

Almost bought a 128 Rallye - should have done but didn't - mate had two standard 128's - fantastic cars - after the Autobinachi Primula pioneered unequal length drive shafts which meant you could more a gearbox out of the sum (google it - its interesting ) this became the mummy and daddy of everything we drive today - cracking car - if Enzo endorsed it then it can't be bad - even the Germans lamented its presence and they were planning the Golf
