Well I've had mine a while now. Ever since I was a dashing young blade smile

Tell the truth just after the war was the worst time, parts were still on ration. No one had any petrol, dealers only open 3 days a week. evil

Luckily my wife used to do some ironing for the butcher so he always slipped her an extra length of sausage.
Every now and then she'd let me have some left overs and I would swap a sausage or two for petrol vouchers. It was the only way to keep the car on the road. grr

Oh, but hang on, that was my Vauxhall ten four laugh

The Coupe I've had it four years I think now. Ever since I was 48 smile you work it out shocked (not as hard as one of AndrewR's maths tests) laugh

Parked next to a Porto Blue coop in Tescos car park this afternoon when the driver arrived.

He was 74!!! shocked

Had the coop from new (97) and all servicing (inc cambelt) done at local dealers. crazy

Really nice gent who admitted to still "giving it some" when the need arose. laugh
