There was an odd Metropolitan at the recent Haynes museum meet that had had just enough to get it road worthy after being in a barn. Rust, scratches, looked like it would fall apart.
Got more looks and smiles than most of the shiny things.

It's pretty much buggered now. Broke 3 lugs off the front fascia. I might try filing the keys like you say, if only to take it out and drop kick it.

I've spent the entire evening trying to get a poxy stereo out. I cannot believe how tough it is. Even the plugs in the back are unbelievably difficult. Never again! The Dorset air is blue!
I've not even got it out. I think whoever got the stereo out (it's never sat right in the dash) must have buggered the clips as it won't even budge a mm. I've had to dismantle the whole outer woody housing just to get access and I can't even get the grey plugs off the back of the stereo. Christ what a job.
It can go for scrap, bloody thing.

I have the correct double din keys. I have nails and I have Allen keys.
It. Will. Not. Come. Out.
They all go in and I hear a kind of click but there's nothing to pull on. I've pushed in as far as it'll go. I've wiggled and pushed and pulled. I've almost broken the plastic Facia trying to get the damn thing out.
My keys are like nail heads. Are they supposed to have a hook?
I forgot how difficult manufacturers make it to do anything to cars.

No, the swirls are definitely in the clear coat.
I do have a small star crack in one of the doors, and some scratches which I've partly Chipex-ed.
Chipexed some more this evening. I can never get the technique right. The second stage blending consistently pulls the paint out of the chip. Gah!

You know that big crash and fire on the M5 a few years ago that killed several people?
If I hadn't broken up with my ex-girlfriend, I would have been at that spot on the M5 at exactly that time as I drove home.
That was like the world telling me "good decision!"

I would love to buy back my brother's old TVR 3000M.
Happily it's recently been found, bought and begun restoration by someone I know so hopefully I'll get a ride in it one day.
Other than that, I'd love a Miura SV and an XJ13 recreation but back on planet earth there are far too many classics that I would give garage space to.

With so many millions of cars on the road, it's amazing big crashes don't happen more often.
