MsBatt - My Anglia wasn't troubled - that's what cars were like you got to know what they dcould and couldn't do - not like todays cars where if the computer decides it's nopt going to work you don't get anywhere. Example - Engine won't fire up/battery dead Todays car Wait for an electronics expert - Ford Anglia get the starting handle, stick it through the hole in the radiator, and wind(crank) it up till it goes then drive away (5 / 120 minutes max!)

Sue thanks for the efforts I'll try to find another picture!(lol)

Is that link not working for you John? It is showing the car for me. When the url is long like that just put something like ''my car' instead of repeating the url.

I love cars! My husband is at this moment more into motorbikes! Unfortunately I can't drive but I have owned about three cars in two years! Don't ask, it was my husband's idea to get me driving. We currently have a Fiat Bravo 1.6 16v. It's quite quick on the pick up, even quicker now my husband has recently purchased a performance chip for it! He was bragging to me the other day that he was doing 125mph in fourth gear, he had completely forgot that there was fifth as well!

As for dream cars I have two. A Chrysler Voyager in black with blacked out windows, side skirts and lowered! And a Vauxhall Nova with all the kit and caboodle plus a 2 litre 16v Vauxhall Calibra engine in it! Now this last one will probably stay as dream seeing as I have two young children!

My husband has only been driving for five years but has owned about seventeen cars! These include two 1.6 Ford Orions, a 2 litre Vauxhall Cavalier , Renault 5 1.7, a Lancia Delta (This was incredibly fast!) and a Mini! He's had so many I honestly can't remember them all! But at the moment he has a motorbike as well, a Kawasaki ZXR400 import. He's selling this as he is getting a Kawasaki ZXR750 ex-superbike from his friend! Needless to say I have not been on it yet, I have all the gear and have had for about a month!
