What are you on about Adam , safety my ***, you kin youngens have been mamby pamby modelled and coddled all your lives , what you want to be wrapped up in cotton wool or something , your pops and me and most over fifty enjoyed those sorts of cars , rickety and wobbly they might have been but we had great fun doing them up with carlos fantango wheels , furry dice twin carbs , side winder exhausts and the like , thats where the fun was , saving your hard earned and improving what you can afford, many a happy pops out there dabbled with mini's ford anglia's and cortinas not to mention if you were lucky enough to have a 1600 gt or 1600e ,

blooody brussels interfearing safety directives have driven costs and things crazy, only some of it for the good , where has all the pioneering spirit gone, brainwashed out of the youth into thinking thats everything has to be just so , , some of you kids want it and expect it all without wanting to work for it Rant over

Victor Meldrew moment there Loz.
But you,re right. My old man told me I could have anything I wanted in this world. Just get my ar*e out there and earn it.
This hard work got me an old early 60's mini, BRG with a big white stripe down the bonnet. The starter was a button on the floor ,the door opener was a piece of cord with some bits of wooden beads strung on it & the door hinges were leather.
Great for handbrake turns in the snow.
**** when the doors fell of cos the leather hinges weren't the greatest thing in engineering technology.
