St.Ricky Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Cockles tells us he drives a McLaren. We know GLS drives a BMW sports. My first car was a split screen Morris Minor that I bought for £50. What was yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St.Ricky Posted February 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) Let me save you time. I might or might not buy a new car this year. My nearest corner shop is M&S. The bus and railway station are within 3/4 mile away and I get free bus passes and discounted rail travel. That said, a car is very convenient to have for local travel but taxis are cheap and plentiful. Back to the cars. My second car was a Triumph Herald. Two tone. Fell apart. Next was a Hilman Avenger. Etc etc The Herald Coupe... https://images.app.goo.gl/DqrLhqhWkw2YfEwd7 Edited February 24, 2020 by St.Ricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St.Ricky Posted February 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) The Vitesse was way out of my price range. A lovely car. I loved the Herald. The car I learned to drive in was a two tone Vauxhall Cresta if you can remember it. I'm not mechanically gifted but that car had a great engine. Just like this one. Two tone, chocolate and cream. https://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fs.car.info%2Fimage_files%2F1920%2Fvauxhall-cresta-front-side-kungalvs-kulturhistoriska-fordonsvanner-2018-v33-1-632850.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.car.info%2Fen-se%2Fspot%2F267415&docid=20cJxdkmiuuATM&tbnid=E_RpniCjtETvjM%3A&vet=1&w=1920&h=1280&itg=1&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim Edited February 24, 2020 by St.Ricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St.Ricky Posted February 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 One of my favourite cars was a Nissan 200 SX Turbo Automatic. Fibre glass body. 0..60 was good but 30...80 was fabulous. Lights recessed into the hood. Magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truesaint Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Not really into cars but thought I would post this as was just looking at the tesla cybertruck which will be on the market next year.

It must be the yellow. Must be pedal power. Note to Cornwall. Only the ability to pay is needed for Waitrose. A little more expensive than M&S. We shop at both for food treats. Sainsbury deliver our basics weekly Back to cars. The Audi Garage in Stirling asked me to drive a new Audi A8 Automatic around town for 10 days. What a car. It was terrific.
