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?

Looks like I am too and I'm 65 in May
Vauxhall Victor 101 Estate 1973 ish £17 Motorbikes Reliant Robin - flared the rear arches and put huge rear tyres on. 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 Motorbikes Morris Minor Morris Minor (ex rally) Morris Minor Had three on the street at once. Two were really donor cars so I'd cut bits out/off and braze em in in the pouring rain with the welder out in in too. Elf & safety would've died MGB (1973 vintage with chrome bumpers) Motorbikes Volkswagen Beetle (first company car) Austin Princess (co car) Mk 4 Ford Cortina Volvo 245GLT Rover 214 (co car) Ford Sierra (co car) Saab 93 (co car) Vauxhall Omega (lease) Audi A4 Avant (lease) Isuzu Trooper 3.1 Isuzu Trooper 3.1 Isuzu Trooper 3.1 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7L V8 - £100 a week in fuel! Audi A4 Avant Volvo V70 Volvo XC90 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 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 Hoping the XC90 will be the same but better for a knackered old back
