Silver FL Elite with a chivvied up Irmscher kit on it...

...oh, hang on, its mine ;D
You surely mean chavved.  :)
I meant chavved up, but Steve Jobs could not comprehend, so randomly changes words.

Did I mention that Apple really are getting on my tits lately?  Zero innovation. Each new iteration brings more flaws. And lets not mention butterfly keyboards - WTF where they thinking.  Exactly the same mentality that destroy Sony.

I don't ever recall mine being posted here.

Although I do remember a telling off from Tunnie's Mum the day after Gixer, Kevin Wood and I were "in a hurry to get to Tiffins" and apparently passed her on the dual carriageway.  But that was all Kevin Wood's fault. Its always Kevin Wood's fault. He's a wrong 'un, I tell ya.

I was indeed the day you ran out of brakes around the quick succession of roundabouts....   ....and then stunk out the carpark in the centre of town with that distinctive, pungent brake smell.

Oh, I just loved them!! :-* :-* :-* 8) 8) :y :y

Solid, true British cars, that had real class with leather seats and real wood finish as internal trim.  They were top of the range for their class and professionals of the highest order owned them.

One of my teachers had a Austin Cambridge, my father an Morris Oxford, but they were for the 'lesser' folk!  The cheap seats! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

Dad had a 3L VdP. Brand new in gloss black,plenty of chrome a thin gold coachline down it's flanks and a bright red leather interior.At the end of the first 4 weeks of ownership[actually it was a company car-company owned by my grandfather]as the dealers were taking it away for it's third auto box he told them to keep it as he didn't want it back and he went back to having Super Snipes until the end of their production.
