Mine typically last 1-3 years, on 2-3 hours a day max, not much over 1-3000 hrs.

I also caught the 19A home from school but not going as far as Hoo. As far as I remember , there were no school contracted buses in Medway, you got a free season ticket for the normal service bus. I think route 19A started at Gillingham depot and went through all the Medway towns en route. There was also a 19 that only went as far as Hoo village and a 19B that went to Lodge Hill barracks.

A LED light bulb? 30,000 hours my a***!

I doubt if mine lasted until 97. I got rid in 91, it wasn’t in the best shape then.

So wrong ! Where do you start.? Can’t even get Reliant Robin in the right order. I can only assume Ferrari’s legal bids are too busy laughing to actually stop them calling it a Ferrari.

I’m not sure that’s penny pinching rather than a clever bit of engineering.

Having owned an Impreza WRX for nearly 20 years, I haven’t had the experience of many knobheads wanting a race etc .Boy racers in Corsas or Civics with fart can exhausts know they’ll be embarrassed and avoid. BMW diesels on the other hand…..

Cars you didn't know existed until very recently.

That’s 19cc more than my lawnmower. -
Single reversing light (almost universal) annoys me. I know it’s as much to warn someone you are reversing ,and they’d probably claim it was a styling rather than financial decision, but when backing into a dark space, two would be very useful.

The brakes were worse than the engine .

I had a very early Orion 1.6GL in bright red (sunburst?). Bought new in March 84 ran it for 170 000 miles until Sept 91. I was trading up from a Fiesta and thought it looked a lot nicer than an Escort.

That would explain why it kept jamming on my Dads car.

You missed the best example of penny pinching on the 107 , ( and possibly of all time), there was only one piece of “string” to raise the parcel shelf , instead of one on both sides. Did it actually save a whole penny?
