So where I am in the Borders, many of the garages are quite old school which reflects an emphasis on owned older cars and less on contemporary company type vehicles. Anyway on my way out this morning I saw at my nearest garage ready for servicing: Vx Nova GTE - F reg and looked pristine Jag XJS soft top - G reg and looked in good nick SAAB 99 turbo - dunno reg but looked in fine fettle. So when last did you see any of these cars? Perhaps it was someone's personal collection getting dusted down for the season

You can tell it's spring round here when all the old DDR cars come out of hibernation. Trabis are easy, but some of the others can take some finding out to see what they are.
All very shiny, though, probably not what they were like back in the day... although, there's an old joke concerning a chap who goes to the ministry of cars and tells them he's been saving up for years, and can he please have a Trabi? And the ministry man checks over his bank account and his secret police record and decides, well, you've been a good comrade, of course you can. Delivery will be in ten years. Excellent, says our hero, in the morning or the afternoon? In ten years, says the ministry man, what do you care? Well, in the morning, the plumber is coming...
