Rich Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Look how much bigger cars have got since then, no wonder they don't fit in parking spaces any more! Even the small cars like Mini's and Micra's are slot bigger. A new Micra drove past me the other day and I didn't recognise it at all, it was almost medium hatchback size.

Tony Posted July 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 I think the "mini" style of car is long gone..... Of all the cars in the vid the one i hated the most was the Rover 2000, bloody horrible to work on, horrible chassis, horrible rust and horrible mpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagitar Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 I'm pretty sure I was there. I had a Hillman Super Minx at the time. I remember the sectioned Mini and I recognised Sheila Van Damm towards the end of the video. She was on the Rootes stand but I think she had retired from rallying by then.

Tony Posted July 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Didn't the Super Minx have real problems with the head gaskets or was that the Imp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagitar Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Can't speak generally, but I never had any problems with mine. However, I didn't have it for long. I changed my job and was given a company car. We couldn't cope with a spare car so the Hillman had to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Do you remember the Imp though....Thank God for the Mini or the world would have thought us British had lost our minds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 I passed my test after 3 lessons, in an Imp. I'd had two scooters and a three wheeler so just needed to get familiar with the Imp before the test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 I'm surprised the Imp made it through the test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
