We had an early 1950s Ford Anglia (MGK 33), a 1963 Cortina (16 VKL), a couple of Morris Minor Travellers (one of which ended up as my first car), an Austin 1100, and a Ford Escort (my brother's first car). My father also had a work-supplied Chrysler 180 for a while. Ugh. I've driven an A40 and a Viva (the Viva was the driving school car when I took lessons, although I took the test in our Morris Minor). I also put in quite a lot of time in a Hillman Imp, and occasionally drove other stuff (ranging from later-model Cortinas to a Jaguar S Type, a Bentley R Type, and on a couple of occasions an Astom Martin DB4 Vantage). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
