Ahhh
You gotta hand it to 'em. They don't build them like that anymore.

*wipes tear from eye*

You can still see the occasional one dotted around the roads over here, admittedly, usually driven by 80-90yr old women at this point - but they're still here! I had mine over 14 years ago and it was from from new then. What finally killed the one In my tale was when my Girlfriend, shortly after passing her test, drove it into a tree on an icy morning. It was still running but MOT guys said no next time it was up, two weeks later. They may have had a point - It was driving like a crab. :-(

So I went straight out, bought another and transferred everything that could be saved over to the new chassis.
