shull Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Mine was a Brown Coloured Austin Allegro. My wee pride and joy. Got me to my work and back in Kilmarnock sometimes. Wrote it off, rear ending a Jehovah Witnesses Car on Corkerhill Road, in 1984. Circumstances of crash meant I was not at fault. Moved onward and upwards with my next vehicle.

So the first thing I did when I got a new motor was to memorise that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
