What a magnificent car. Just as scabrous and down at heel as I remember them. It even looks smelly.

Marvellous.

[brownnova]

That looks most excellent!!

My older cousin was an apprentice electrician in the early 80s and had a maroon Allegro on something like a M or N or P-plate.  One day some other tradesmen where he was working quietly put gravel chips and harling stones in all the Allegro's hubcaps then refitted them.

From the noise as he was driving about town he thought the car was fucked, couldn't understand it.  (Summer either 1982 or 83 with window down and paranoid), so he drove it around for a couple of weeks like that then took it to the local backstreet garage where everything was revealed.  He'd thought the gearbox was fucked.

That was done with ADO16's too. Please don't ask me how I know.

Tow bar envy.

I drove mine 300 miles yesterday to park it somewhere posh.

[eddyramrod]

Oh yes, park somewhere posh, whenever you can!

Well played though. Hope Eddy was ok saying goodbye to the old girl.

No way has Huggy actually departed from Eddy!!!!

I reckon it's on hire as no way could Eddy really let go of huggy!
