Picking up a used mig welder tomorrow in the hope that I get around to some work on the Datsun next year, although knowing my bloody luck I'll end up burning the garage down.

This just in. I found out that my family’s first car was a 1921 Morris Oxford! And I also found out that we had an Austin 12, a Singer Junior, a Belsize 14-30 and a BSA 9HP! All before the war!

We had one of those, too. That was the first car my grandad can remember (baring in mind I’m 16). They bought it used in 1954 and replaced it a few years later with a Ford Consul!

 

On my nan’s side of the family their first car was a 1938 Vauxhall 10-4 which they got in about 1957. When they went on holiday they had 8 people in it- one person had to sit on a box!

Did I dream it or did Audi actually toy with CVT transmissions at some point in the 1990s?

Indeed. And I still choose to freely associate with others who buy them too

In the 2000s and 2010s too.

 

Plot spoiler, they're pretty shit and break.

Yes, they seem generally best avoided whatever they were fitted to. Nissan Cube owners seem to advise running for the hills. Oddly, you could specify the Cube with a proper automatic as well. Odd.

Woke up late today, sat on the sofa with a cuppa & just woke up again.

Could you really? Sudden increase in interest in the most interesting Nissan since Datsun.

 

How can I tell? I mean in adverts etc, it would be obvious if I was driving one.

[dollywobbler]

Gear selector apparently. PRND on CVT, PRND21 on Autos. It seems to be a three-speed with overdrive. On the one I drove, it was hard to tell to be honest. It was about sixty times smoother than the Honda.

My friend and I both own Hondas*, though his is the newer model.

 

 

 

Edited to add:

On my way back home I passed someone A-framing a Morris Minor with a Mk4 Vauxhall Astra estate.  Passed them twice, in fact, because I had to stop and buy screenwash, annoyingly.  There was also a Renault Scenic that had caught fire on the A1.  I didn't have an opportunity to photograph the silver XM estate parked outside a hotel near my friend's house, which was disappointing, nor the Jaguar XJS out in traffic, nor the Mk2 Seat Ibiza that looked brand new that overtook me somewhere on the A1 near Newark.
