Age and Cars owned
 

79 on February 2021. Still working at home running my small architectural practice. Main hobby FAC shooting. (Covid-19) stopped all shooting. With time on my hands, I thought what was the only useless thing I could spend some time on. So here it is. All my vehicles owned since 1963 when I took my driving test. I look at the list and think what a sad Bstard I is LOL

Here is the list.

Life with the pandemic has become harder. I agree with this. But the list of cars is impressive. I wonder in what year there was a tasting room and can we look at the history of muscle cars?

Loved my spitfire, was gutted when I had to sell it - 2 kids in there was never going to work. Had it 14 years and had to change the floor and sills in it, but great memories touring with a huge tent strapped to the boot lid (had a rack on it).

I recently read the articles in Epicvin's guide and I need to find out the VIN number of the masl kara. I did not find the VIN number of the Volvo V70 T5 car on decode Volvo VIN, which I really liked. Although usually the Vin code should be located here https://imgur.com/ZeTgRpr

Over 60 the front end lifted off the ground and you could spin the steering wheel. !st time I did it I didn't line teh wheel up properly when it came down and nearly rolled it - got a huge b0ll0cking from 'mi bird' after I'd changed the trousers

Miss the Troopers most as the memories of the kids standing on the rails holding on for dear life while we drove across byways, across beaches and through surf are still talked about with real animation and love by them. Used to kid them the tide was on its way in and we were all going to drown :eek:

The original Audi did 1000 miles every other weekend, it never missed a beat and used a thimble of diesel. The V70 is just built like the proverbial outhouse and like a well crafted and worn old armchair. Getting in and driving 300 miles felt like going to the corner shop and it handled pretty well for the barge it is :sad-smiley-047:
Hoping the XC90 will be the same but better for a knackered old back :regular_smile:
