    I've never had my three parked side by side before. They have to park line astern on the drive and even then one of them has to be in the garage. 
    Well I was doing a bit of shunting this morning and there is a space at the top of our Close for two cars that was empty, which is a rarity in itself. Plus the sun was shining and the leaves have just started coming out on the trees so I thought why not.

    Like I say, parking for two cars, but when they are all quite small and all yours you can squeeze three in. Obviously you have to start from the left. If I'd put the Triumph in last I couldn't have got out of the car.

    Also, how to make a Favorit look like a big car. Park them either side of a Triumph 1300.

    And image search brings up the image on Pintrest. It says it is from 1973, but the L suffix was from August 1972.

    Ah, but it's not A to B is it? It is A<2>B, which is some sort of mathematical equation that works out your chances of arriving at your destination.
    To be fair Royal Mail provided a damn sight better service when its fleet was almost entirely LDV, though that might not entirely be down to the type of van we use. I used to love driving them and was quite upset when they replaced mine with a Transit. Funnily enough nobody else agreed. They obviously weren't better than the Transit but they were more fun.

    Comes with a cloth interior because it is a proper luxury car. None of your cheap leather here.

    A Borgward Isabella is on my list of lottery win cars. They're not that expensive compared to some things but I need the lottery win to buy some land and a barn to put them all in. 
    They have a great almost art deco dashboard. 

    And an interesting engine where the carb seems to be mounted directly to the top of the rocker cover. 

    Like a semi crossflow. I still can't figure out quite how the fuel gets from the carb to the combustion chamber and I'd like to buy one to find out. 

    And 75hp from 1500cc in 1954 seems pretty decent. And the one below might even have a few more horses.

    I always tend to use BA these days simply because Heathrow is so much more convenient from where I am. And there are regular normal service buses from all over west London. I've found a few areas five minutes off the end of the M3 with unrestricted parking, then get the bus into the airport. So it's £1.70 each way instead of whatever airport parking is. I'm usually only going for about 4 days so I travel light. Would obviously be different if I had proper luggage to worry about.

    I agree but that is still a huge improvement on a week or so ago when any attempts at an Allegro were just met with some sort of generic 1960s car. Now we've got the right era and company. So it is learning, god knows how. 
    I would suggest it is up to this place to teach AI what an Allegro is.
