 Driving Pleasure ? - Ted

I enjoy some motoring still. I've patrolled this city in one form or another for over 50 yrs and still like nipping around using all the little short cuts unknown by lesser mortals. I'm more at ease in a bigger car or on a motorbike...the 1.2 auto Micra of SWM's doesn't suit me at all but I really look forward to taking the 2 litre Auto Rav out. Best of all is the classic. different skills in driving a skinny cross plied, column change with minimum toys and drum brakes where arrangements have to be made to stop. I'm just as happy in the garage tinkering with it, Classic FM on, with a couple of cigars handy. Just in the middle of fitting Magnatech ignition and have recently finished re-timing the crank/camshaft and valves. A pleasant way to keep out of the rain/wife's way.

Best days for me were sunny evenings 50 yrs ago when SWM to be and I used to take the Herald 12/50, hood down, around the Cheshire lanes and do a bit of window shopping in small towns like Knutsford or Humphwich.

Nostalgia ain't what it used to be !
