Cars are amazing these days... our purple turtle started first time when we went over in December....  worthy:

I remember the noise my old Austin 1300 made - most of it came from all the cans of 'Cold Start' and 'Damp Start' rattling around in the boot along with the bog tool box I carried anywhere just in case...  noooo:

Good man. Helps keep the battery tickled up a bit.
Got a fleet of near flat batteried cars here, and one with a leaky rad. ::)

Think I mentioned it before in here. I had an Austin 1300GT in Teal Blue!
One of the best cars I've ever had. cloud9:
Wish I still had it. Be worth a mint now. sad32:

They were rather prone to corrosion as I recall.

Indeed...

I had to get an MoT from a mate over the 'phone... unfortunately he spelt the registration number wrong (B instead of V) and I had to change it by hand...

Luckily the girl in the post office paid scant attention to such details when I took it in to get it taxed...  whistle:

It has warmed up considerably since first thing this morning when all was bright, frosty and white.
It is now grey, cloudy, 4 deg C and pissing down.   ::)
