There's some quality cars on your list Ron240. The Austin A40 which started my list was 1951 vintage. It cost £45. I think the Morris Minor was 1954 so wasn't split screen. It cost £90. These were really basic cars. No heaters, no radios. Not much at all. Although owning a car in those days was fun...

Kramer was a funny guy

Personally I like to know how much beyond they go so that I'm not forced into an expensive "panic" refuel when I could have made it to the cheaper petrol station a few miles on. If you find yourself in a 'panic refuel' situation then this is bad planning and entirely of your own making. I...

The rear discs they fitted to my 70 plate were garbage! Rusted and pitted after 4k and then changed as a goodwill gesture. Replacements have done 19k without issue.

Is it the same as what it was 3 years ago? :) No, my current Puma is not on the list. Trying to drum up conversation as to what other members have been driving.

I haven't checked to see if the ST Line X 155 is available with an auto?

I'm sure the 155 is only available with the auto box. Vignale has been dropped.

or as you say Ford are trying one on.

14,000 miles in my Vignale yet rear discs are corroded. Advised the vehicle isn't used enough, which it is. Car new in December 21. Won't fail the MOT.
