Passed my test 1977 and my first car was mini cooper s twin tanks 1965 I flogged it for £50 thay go for mega money now days .
Wife started a conversation with me yesterday.
Swmbo "That bloke over the road, who seems to have plenty of money was driving up and down the road in an old car yesterday, don't know if it was an old classic or an old banger ?
Me " It was a MK1 Lotus Cortina, so more of a classic really. Very rare and worth as much as a small house".
Swmbo "why does it have stickers and stuff all over it ?".
Me " He races it."
Swmbo "so, its rare and worth a small fortune and he races it around a track . Men are such stupid creatures."
Hard to argue with the logic really.
