Oh AlexLK, that photo reminds me of a while back (lets not get into how much of a while back

I know nothing about cars - nothing - but I do know BF had an Austin Healey Sprite in black with a soft top, felt you were 2" off the ground. Don't think I would manage either in or out of one now :rotfl:and BF used to have a private reg that once appeared on a tv advert just 1 digit out

:rotfl: I've got a Spitfire just like that one. In some ways I do wish I'd been around when all the cars I like were new. From older generations I talk to through the cars I own, it seems everyone was more enthusiastic about motoring back in the '60's / early '70's.Thought of you today Alex when I saw a beautiful off white e-type Jag :smileyhea, sounded great as well!

:rotfl:Now, just - 'Haud the Bus' (Glaswegian for wait). I don't mean it was new, so it was certainly not the '60's/early 70's I'm talking probably early '80's - not that much different - I hear you say :eek: :rotfl::rotfl: Always have 00.00 at the end of your mortgage and one day it will all be 0's :dance:MF[STRIKE] March 2030[/STRIKE] Yes that does say 2030 :eek: Mortgage Free 21.12.18 _party_Now a Part Timer from 27.10.190 -
