Re: You think old cars were better?
Sorry - gotta tell you.....
One car that I thought was brilliant at the time, (1975) was the NSU Prinz - I nearly bought one!
I actually bought a Hillman Minx as my first car but it had major rust problems and failed its MOT but my very FIRST car was a Ford Anglia 105E that you had to sneak up on to start it!
Entry through the driver's door was a guaranteed no-start so you went in by the passenger door, pulled out the choke half way - then back a smidgeon, then turned the key.
If it didn't fire-up you turned off and pumped the accelerator then tried again!
The brakes were rubbish, the wipers slowed down the faster you went and the headlamps were worse than bycycle lamps but it got you there - just.
I bump-started that car more times than it ever started on the key but the kids loved it - they called it Betty, which was rather odd because their grandmother's name was Betty yet they'd never met her.
Cars these days don't have personality.
My FIAT PUNTO does have a personality though - it's Pedro and it's
our little car and we love it. stevmk2
