my speakers were in the rear side pockets! My indicators beeped outside the vehicle, good for going round corners and warning kids etc!

Friend has a red MGA, push button start. Great to see it around, although he has to carry a bottle of "lead" to put in the petrol.

First car was a Triumph Herald

Hi Lindy, wasn't ignoring you.

Summer Scribe, it was me paying 45€ tax. Lindy on the mainland would pay more for the same vehicle. OH pays just over 16€ for a 1.4 diesel. The older they are the cheaper they are and diesels are cheaper to tax than petrol.

Hi, Steve! Everyone ~~~~~~~~~~~~waves~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have just trading in my Ford Fiesta Flight (02) for a Suzuki Aldo GL (55). Not that happy!!! But the Road Tax is now £35 instead of £165!!!! Small but neat!!! Could put it in a matchbox and save on parking fees!!! lol !!!! But then, I drive less that 10,000 miles a year!

Lindy xxx

My first car was a mini too steve, it was held together with brown masking tape, she was called millicent! The garage i px it with nearly drove it through the end of the garage as it has no brakes, had to use gears to slow it down or use handbrake,oh, those were the days.

LOL ***Only*** £35k you realise I could get a flat for that, right? LOL.

Once you get a jag you're only a short step from a porsche and once you go there there's not way back LOL.

There are nicer cars out there, I think. Mind you...I drive a Meriva LOL

Lindy, 45euros tax...good grief. Well, I don't pay anything with being disabled, but still I can appreciate how great that is. LOL

Sueby, a girl after my own heart......I now have an 11 y.o. Nissan March (Japanese Micra) and I could have had a new one, but couldn't see the point of spending money when I just want to get from A to B......

.....it is a lovely nippy old thing, and I don't think its the sort of car the kids round here want to joyride in.....lol......no good for their street-cred....

Done the sports car bit......got fed up with fellas trying to prove their manhood when I drove......lol....
