This was my all time love. I ended up selling in 2005 and have missed it ever since... a cult car and will become much rarer


The only car I've ever had that when I put my foot down properly I really couldn't get my eyes to focus. Fantastic fun but hairy in the wet.

The road rally prepared 1294cc Mk1 Mini I co-owned for three years beats everything else hands down.

The picture shows it at the end of Le Jog (Lands End To John O'Groats) 1500miles, over three days, and about 8 hours sleep. I remember thrashing through some forest in scotland, nearside wheel in a ditch dragging me through a corner, as I chased down a Lotus Cortina, with all the rocks banging off the sumpguard and thinking "Life doesn't get much better"


When we finally sold it I was gutted. Met my co-owner about a year ago and we both said we wish we'd bought the other one out. Even now I still scour eBay for it. Sold it to someone in Ipswich who bought it and left it in his garden for 8 months without using it, then sold it to a guy from Holland....


If it ever appears I'll have to buy it back...


Current fun (When I sort out an MOT) is my Austin A40. Cool car for cruising in....

I'm struggling on this thread. My current car is a Skoda with flat battery/no MOT. My first was a Reliant Supervan Mark III that needed a CWT of gravel in the back to keep it stable, with a host of interesting ones in between. How's a girl to choose?

I could tell you, Luv. But then I'd have to send the boys round.

Yeah, but are they a match for my "Peckham Boys"

Luv (speaking with a mouthful of cotton wall like what Marlon as The Godfather does in the film of the same title)

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
