Austin Seven Ruby just like the one my uncle had way back when. I think I am becoming mercrocker's stand in

It's a Ford D-Series of the type introduced in 1965 to replace the Thames Trader.

I've never understood this continued berating of grey porridge motors. We all know they were largely limited in lifespan, ability, desirability and performance but fuck me most people in the 50s and 60s wouldn't have got near a car unless they had very enthusiastic and/or wealthy parents. Folk who ...

I was half expecting my F-Type Victor to appear! The tatty worn looking E-Series Wyvern/Velox is great, old rundown car but with cherished number plate ACT1. The Magnette in the last photo has a plate that could be where it would end up, WMB for Wimbledon Stadium where many of them ended their days.

He told me that he ...

My 1961 Impala had a 'Y' plate as it was imported in whenever that was, 1982? The Minor does have the look of an ex-MOD vehicle as said by mr animals, they did have quite a few of them.

I still am but as I'm getting older I have found that I'm beginning to loathe driving much because cretins allowed out who can operate a vehicle but cannot actually drive one. It seems that every time I go out in my Focus I either get some bellend racing up behind me, quite often in a wanker tanker,...
