Mine doesn't really understand why I have any interest in cars, never mind old ones. But she puts up with it. I think that's about as good as many can hope for - me included

I'm sure I speak for 99% of people in saying that when we do go for a blast we do it safely - the flashed up thread was written by someone who blatently owned up to driving like a berk on the wrong side of the road. It's a fairly moving account but it doesn't need to dampen every thread of this nature as the James says....

Plocki (who has the fattest feet in the world and is half yank; for everyone else who doesn't know him) says “Don’t you require a larger vehicle Morgs, to accommodate your somewhat lanky physique?”
He drives a Renault Migrane.
Nuff said?
