Re: What did you do today?
Took my daughter out for a trip around the block when it was all done - she was scared at first (never having been in such an ancient car) - but then she pronounced it "so cool".

Re: What did you do today?
Kids love old cars if they're given the opportunity! I can still remember being taken out for the day in a Chummy Seven, it was before I started school and possibly a greater education than anything that followed. The smell, noise and draughtiness still lingers....Wonderful.
There's a great long bar in Rock & Roll heaven.......

Re: What did you do today?
I would love a ride (or a drive) in an Austin 7 - some might think it's an odd bucket list item but there it is.

Re: What did you do today?
The place I used to work for looked after a 7 and he never let me drive it as they are pretty shit. I followed him in it once and watching the wheels flex when he went round corners has put me off them. The 202 Peugeot was bad enough and I expect the 201 will be even worse

Re: What did you do today?
Sold the 806 this evening unfortunately the guy has bought it for spares and will be breaking it. Oh well it had a good run on 275000 miles and nearly 5 years which was a record for me. I just hope the crappy old discovery gives close to as good a service as the 806 did.

Re: What did you do today?
Followed a new Defender on my way home tonight. It's a right ugly bastard.
Eight squares for rear lights is a particularly poxy design feature.

Re: What did you do today?
Agreed on the lights, worst bit for me is the fake chequer plate. The factory have taken a reasonable looking vehicle and spoiled it with tasteless gargoyles- just what owners of the old Defenders do. The most remarkable thing is that there are people prepared to pay the stupid price.

Re: What did you do today?
Given that the designer of this seems to go on about reductive design I'm not certain that he and I share the same understanding of what the first word means. Those lights look like things I'd have bought from Halfords or Ripspeed to 'personalise' a rusty Mk3 Cortina in the late 70s.
