You shown Wizzkit your collection of Capris U.B? She's a fellow afficianado. That's almost a fetish you've got there! Like the Viva estate -still looks quite a cool car.

For Bikers, we've owned an awful lot of cars haven't we! Think the models give away our age group a little too! My Mum had a notchback Anglia. Dark blue. RPC 456E. That's weird isn't it. Must be 35 years ago & I still instantly remember the registration -but can't remember where I left my bike keys half an hour ago.
She also had a Hillman Imp in aqua-marine that overheated & died.
My Dad used to be a partner in a building company in London in the 60s & 70s. Lots of big housing projects & the like. They bought a fleet of three brand new silver Zephyr Zodiacs for cash. Huge cars, bench seats, column gear change I think, bonnets a mile long. He also had a Morris Oxford. White with bright red upholstery. I used to get a lift home from cub scouts every week in my mate's Dad's mark 3 Zephyr -as used in "Z Cars". Sage green it was. Big comfy bench seat. Always remember it as being a big, cosy comfortingly warm car.
Proper cars.  Smiley

Stupid!! They were classics! Mine was metallic green with an electric aerial that cost me more than the radio.
Used the Maestros to commute from Newbury to Basingstoke sorting office in the early hours of the morning. Crashed the first one into a milk float.
Crashed the second into a badger.

Is that all? Pah! A pretty short list isn't it. You're too young for this rose-tinted thread.

I've clocked up 26 years of motoring so far. Those classics weren't so classic then. They were only a few years old. Loved my Viva. A mate in my bike club had one in Dukes of Hazzard colours -jeez! I'd forgotten that! Must've buried that deep in my subconcious somewhere. Some things are best forgotten I think.
What were the fast back Vivas called? Firenzas? They were a nice looking motor.
