Guest Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 My Maiden* Aunt used to be a groovy chick, back in the day; all mini skirts, boots, and Mini Coopers. Nowadays, she is retired...

Shep Shepherd Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 My aunt Irene (Father Shepherd's older sister) has one of these: It's rumoured that she keeps a 480ES in her barn, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacquer Peel Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 One of my aunties had an original Dacia Duster in the early 90s. Which is slightly more relevant than a flashy new Volvo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Norman Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Auntie had three cars in her entire life. Her first was a Ford Corsair, 64 on a 'B', the last one was an 82 on a 'Y' Datsun (not Nissan) Micra, the first automatic one in Scotland apparently, and between she had this magnificent specimen. A bright red Datsun 120Y, 74 on an 'N'. I sometimes got to drive her little Micra when my own car was fubar, which was quite a lot back in those days. It was a genuine 'little old lady' car, racking up only 13,000 miles in the 10 or so years she had it before she finally admitted defeat and gave up driving due to poor eyesight. She always used to thank me for 'servicing' it, because whenever she got it back, the next time she drove it she always noticed it felt a lot more 'eager'. In truth all I did was introduce it to the rev-limiter a few times. I remember once starting it up, manoeuvring it out the driveway and then flooring it up the road. I must have been doing a good 28mph by the time I got the half mile or so to the end of the street! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

face Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 For some odd reason in my head I am hearing the theme tune from 'The Professionals' being played slowly on a squeezebox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negative Creep Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 One had a mk2 Astra until fairly recently, when she changed it for a C Max. Another used to have a bright green Tipo, which I always loved the colour of as a kid but not idea what she drives now, the last one doesn't have a licence. No pics though.

boobydoo Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I had an aunt who wasn't really an an aunt...just a friend of a real Aunt . But we always called her Auntie Jeanne. She was a spinster and had the same butch haircut that Julie Andrews had in 'The Sound Of Music'. She always had Mini Clubman estates in various shades of beige but couldn't drive for toffee. I don't recall her once taking the cars out of second gear....fragging along at 30mph to Kwik-Save and back, gearbox screaming like a howling cat. When I passed my test , my parents tried to fob one of her knackered cast-offs on to me. Feck off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsinthewelder Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 My Auntie Margeret had a yellow Datsun Cherry saloon for ages until it disolved about 15 years ago, it was replaced by a silver Renault 5 which has been recently retired to her french holiday home. A green mk2 clio is now on M25 hack duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompei Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 My late Aunt Freda had an NSU Prinz and then a Mini. She lent me both when I was a lad, and lent the Mini to my dad when his car was out of commission for some reason. They both went back running really well, as she never took either over 35 mph...

Guest Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 My aunt has a 1973 VW Camper that broke down AGAIN. This time 'the oil was too hot.' I've told her to torch it for the insurance money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiny Norman Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 In total contrast to my old auntie with the Datsun, one of my mates had an aunt with a Peugeot 205 GTi, and I'm talking about a woman in her late 60s. Apparently her hubby used to do a bit of clubman rallying in his day and she was a total speed freak. I never got a drive with her but I heard tales of three figure speeds going down on some wee Scottish back roads on several occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M'coli Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 In total contrast to my old auntie with the Datsun, one of my mates had an aunt with a Peugeot 205 GTi, and I'm talking about a woman in her late 60s. Apparently her hubby used to do a bit of clubman rallying in his day and she was a total speed freak. I never got a drive with her but I heard tales of three figure speeds going down on some wee Scottish back roads on several occasions. So that was her! She overtook me in my Fiat 126 20 years ago on the Croftamie road into oncoming traffic when I was doing 90 (km/h!) by going flying over the top of me at Badshalloch...
