Cars you’ve become attached to ....

[Guy]

I shut my thumb in a mate's car door once, just as he started to drive off. So I suppose you could say I was attached for a few seconds ...

(PS: Hurt like hell for days - lost the thumbnail a few weeks later.)

I always get attached to cars, starting with my first, a humble 1935 Morris 8 which cost £7 10/- with a year's MOT.

The only exception was my first company car, a dirty brown Vauxhall Viva which loved breaking down. It really was the biggest waste of resources I've ever encountered.

I don't really get attached to cars but l do regret letting a couple go. The first was my Triumph spitfire in the 1970's and the other was my Honda S2000 which I treated myself to for my 50th birthday in 2002

I went digging a few weeks ago and found my first car which was fantastic in the dry !!
.....you can see where it was heading even if it took nearly 40 years

Is that a Lotus? Impressive first car indeed!

Ginetta

Exactly right G15 WinCo

I had to come down to earth after that and bought a Metro next
And to be truthfull it was all very boring/sensible - until recently
(with one exception of of the Westfield 7 that I made)

Yes the hair is a bit of a shock for you - don't show Mrs P - I won't hear the last of it

You should have kept it Peteski

My SC is actually a much better car to drive, like its older more sensible brother!

I think I had a 1980 SC. It was 13 years old and a bit abused but a real thrill. I neglected it and that was a shame. I wish I had kept and cherished it.

I can close my eyes and just see you two crying into your beers together about your lost loves

Never mind the cars.

I wonder if that Ginetta inspired the feature in the middle of the bonnet of all Singer Porsches?!

...........and it was a proper solid alloy flip top
