Torn it now though, "her" car is due a service and MOT in the next month. Suddenly, she would quite like a Cactus apparently. I'll never have any money... 😕 Cash in the pension, no problem.

...well, that would be more suitable for her delivery runs for Hermes.....  Crikey! those scarves must be heavier than they look.

Funny old world isn't it? Back when I got my first car, I was mostly pre-occupied with whether it would start in the morning, whether the rust was terminal and whether the tread blocks would remain attached to the crossply remoulds etc...
He however, is more concerned with whether the Bluetooth works and if he can get two mountain bikes on the roof.
Ho hum

I've only just noticed this thread. I'm disappointed to discover it's nothing at all to do with a watery hot chocolate and an evening with Mick McManus.

I haven't the slightest idea what you are talking about. I suspect I'm too young. 😎

I submit you know exactly. Surely Options rings a bell? Highlights later of course. We don't want to run rings around you.

I suspect that the vast majority of the younger generation, including those we own, would not, under any circumstances, venture forth in the type of wrecks that we [certainly I] used to drive.
I was 27 before I owned something that my Father would get in without glancing around to see who was watching first. And 29 before I had something that my parents were actually happy to get into.

Well, if my Father had been insanely jealous of a Hillman Hunter and a Triumph Toledo, then I would have been doing the same. [Never mind the rust, balljoints, brakes, suspension and steering faults)
The year before he would have needed to be jealous of a Hillman Imp and the year after a Ford Cortina.

Anyone old enough to remember 'tag wrestling' (which I think involved Mick McManus)? In theory, two men were supposed to be in the ring and two outside, but it usually ended up with all four inside the ring attacking the referee.

Old enough to have gone to see wrestling live (once). Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks, Rollerball Rocco and The Mighty Quinn were there along with Crybaby Cannon and Jackie Pallo.
They all "tagged" and generally bounced about on top of each other in a faintly homoerotic fashion whilst Mrs C and I sat somewhere between amused and bemused, and little old ladies all around us looked up from their knitting from time to time to yell "Wubbish! Kill 'im!".
We couldn't have been happier.

There's a lot available on YouTube, including McManus. If you want a laugh search for Les Kellett V Leon Arras ( Brian Glover ) Now sadly both gone upstairs.
