There are a few interesting cars on the list. The MG Meastros could be good value. An underrated car in its day because it, like everything else, was overshadowed by the Golf GTI.

I'd like the Rover P6 Estate as I think a now late friend of mine designed it.

Dont you think about our planet then! I'd go for a pedal car, love the Blower!
Not only because I can't afford the real thing… |

They were happy days for me . I was going through a divorce in the early eighties . For a few months I went and worked at our local BMC dealer . The car salesman was a strange chap and he lived in his E Type Jag . This was usually left in the car park . Well one winter night we had loads of snow. Yes guess what we got into work and had to dig him out . I got on well with him as he was a Motor Sport fan . The garage closed a few months after I left and sadley this chap had nowhere to live . Ended up on the streets and passed away . Funny how your memory gets jogged from time to time .

"They were happy days for me. I was going through a divorce. "
Not normally associated sentiments. Metro, Maestro, Montego. Naturally aspirated and turbo. Me and MGDavid have the t-shirt on those! Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk |

My friendly garage man is trying to convince me I need one of the three MG TF's he's currently got cluttering-up the place. Two of them are non-runners at the moment...

Mmm, Wednesday not looking too promising, but from experience when this cold snow less likely. However, this is pretty rare weather coming......

I help out sometimes with track days at Abbeville. There is a Meteo France station in the former airfield control tower & they are always very accurate. |

Peter, the local weather forecast has gone from doom, pestilence and armageddon snow tomorrow to light snow showers on Monday night so I wouldn't worry too much about Goodwood just yet. |

Abbeville? Are you a drifter John? I've been told the school there is rather good but didn't tested it yet. |
