Fleet news- Abarth 595 was bought by @Wack, and another forum member is due to collect the Boxster tomorrow. 
 

So currently the only car I have use of is the Austin 7…..

Although I have another vehicle on the way. I decided to use the Abarth money to get another silly car, and have less tied up in the token modern. I’m yet to buy the token modern (will be a sub 1k buy) but the other silly car is a 1997 Ford crown Victoria p71 police interceptor. Part of the us government fleet, specific use unknown……

My eldest son's favourite car.

Superb, was it a detective's car, the dash looks too nice to have been a liveried car 

I rented a Lincoln town car in the US, the engine was a V8 but it was that lazy it was unbelievable, I had an xk8 at the time so was used to V8 power but this, it made more noise but didn't go any faster when you put your foot down

A '97, very nice. I've always been a bigger fan of aero crown Vic starting in '92. A lot of decontenting happened over the years since private sales dropped constantly and the '98+ went very conservative styling wise so this would always be my preference. Should be a car that could last forever, not that it matters in this case.😄 P71 spec should give a little extra oomph, I think most came with a dual exhaust.

Yet another cool car! A wafty Yank and a baby 7. What are you looking at for your 'everyday' car? 

IVe just bought a focus mk2 5 door. 1.6 vct vvt something ghia . A bit battered but just the invisible, disposable transport I was hoping for.

I saw that advertised and if I wasnt in  " financial Cafe Racers" ** I would have been severely,  severely  tempted. Looks to have had a very well cared for life given its government use and mileage,  you can't usually hide the interior wear if they have been given a remotely hard time.

 

Very well bought. Jammy bastard***

 

 

** it's the one before financial Dire straits. Look a free dad jokes and music trivia

 

*** another dad joke, sorry not sorry.

I think 7s had four wheel brakes from the start, one of the first British cars to fit them.

Four wheel brakes yes, but for the first few years, the handbrake operated the front brakes and the pedal the rear brakes. They're terrifying to drive as the pedal does pretty much nothing.

For A N Car you simply cannot do better. Cheap enough, get the parts everywhere, did an oil change on ours last week for just over £20, set of plugs £9 delivered...

That’s it, I just wanted something durable and low key, and it drives really well, Um compared to a 1936 Austin 7 😂
