Off Topic North East Lockdown

For a few years I used to think it was them.

 

youd suit something more like an Austin Allegro mate.

 

A datsun cherry

 

Almost bought one as my first car a few moons ago. The only thing going for it was the price. Everything else was against it, bodywork, engine, mileage the lot.

Eventually bought a Morris Marina Coupe. Loved that car.

 

I read that as a few months ago

 

I bet you only paid 10 florins for your first car too mate.

 

Can you remember what you paid for your first car
mine was £330.00 in 1981 for a second hand Ford Cortina 1600
I remember the insurance costing me £400

£1500 in 92 for a fiesta

 

I paid 10k for a fiesta lol

 

£1700 for a Vauxhall Combo van. It ended up with 160,000 on the clock, a great starter but I knew it was time to get rid when the breaks failed (doing 10mph at the time thank god).

 

Oh and **** da lockdown.

 

Mine was a Covid 1.9, it was Chinese made, coughed and spluttered but got around the place quite quickly. It certainly wasn't for the faint hearted, I believe there's still quite a few around the North East.

 

Like any other Covid 19, a tall story Jim!

 

Someone's got rich parents

 

Those were the days

 

It's true, went like a bat out hell. There were a few on the market at the time.

 

Back to lockdown, we've cancelled our trip to Krakow for next weekend. We are lucky that we can move the flights to next year but we've had to take a hit on the AirBnB booking of £100.

 

Haha, I've got nowt on today...where do you want to meet up then???????

 

TMI

 

It was nice out, so I left it out...
