jok 3,036 Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 I get the feeling that we all have an interesting tale to tell about cars or vehicles we have owned in the past. I think we all think the same way ad in if only we still had them and the value nowadays. I must admit to having had quite a few . Fiat 500. Fiat 900. Austin Mini. Ford Anglia. Ford cortina. Lotus Cortina. Ford Granada. MK 2 ford cortina. Ford Capri 3 litre.. Zephyr. Then there was the bikes. Triumph tiger cub, bsa bantam, Ariel 350, Triumph 350 bathtub, Matchless 350, Norton Commando I think there were more but most recently the Honda Blackbird and before that the Pan European. What a lovely lifestyle over the years. Jok. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
