Car days :S
How is that years ago when we had so very little and times were very hard, we can look back and it seems quite funny :
My first car was a mini .... sadly not the lovely new silver one opposite noooooo noooo
mine was as old as the hills it started with a push button on the floor! A dark old fashion green with many a dent and the hinge of one door broken along with a large rusty hole growing bigger by the minute .
But i loved that little car :) it fitted in any parking space and i attempted to make it like the above (he he dreams of grandure) and hand painted it silver.
It lead us on holiday to weymouth where we spent the entire journey every half hour having to pull over get under the car and hit the water pump ..... and off we would trot just like the flintstones till it peetered out again !
One of the funniest times (and sadly i wasnt there oh to be a fly) was when my husband used it to get to work whilst
his van was in the garage. ~ My brother (flash git ) was to pick up his 'brand new' 'gleaming' 'expensive' 'top of the range'FORD CAPRI whoo hoo, so he hitched a lift with hubby who took him to the garage but before hubby had the chance to tell him to wait for him to open the door (ha ha ha !) brother opened the one hinged door and it fell off on to the forecourt in front of everyone
OH DEAR HA HA HA!
Being 20yrs old when i aquired it my little mini eventually gave up, hubby went to look at engine and guess what the plonker did ??? lit a match pooooooof!
up went the engine and hubbys eyebrows (hidden snigger) well what an idiot .
ironically it didnt do to much damage it was still moving on its own little burnt but workable engine when it was sold on for banger racing A RIGHT LITTLE HERBIE OF ITS TIME ahhhhhhhhhh
