This is a question Turning into your parents

Unable to hold back the genetic tide, I find myself gardening in my carpet slippers, asking for a knife and fork in McDonalds and agreeing with the Daily Telegraph. I'm beyond help - what about you?

Thanks to b3th for the suggestion

heh!
Mini (racing green edition)
Clubman 1275 GT (stuck a avonbar 1380 with a rally cam, it used to gently rock when sitting in traffic and I would snap the mounts at least once a month)

alas, I went down the other route, down the dark side from then on.

ZEE GERMAN VW MK1 GOLF 1.8GT!

My dad had a angila with the exhaust replacing the brake lights and also had a Cortina GT.

Same colour as mine then but that'd be where the similarities ended.

Mine was just a fairly standard 1275 but I did put twin Webbers on it, it sucked like a whore, but was quite thirsty too.

I called my dad to ask him if I'd missed any but I won't put them on here (Except the famous TR6), don't want to bore people further!

Anyway when I went through the list he only recited the bloody registration mark of everyone of them! maybe I haven't overtaken him just yet, I have a job remembering mine now.

Quick cars in the day those Cortina's.


I remember in my first Mini going down Kelsall/Tarvin hill and the speedo needle went to 'E' on the fuel gauge - rough guess 115mph
