Starting from when Pontius was still a pilot....another old fart writes......
67 Honda CD 175cc - Decent bike, did 11,000 miles in 1st year
?? Zundaap Bella scooter 250cc? - Temporary aberration
61? Royal Enfield Constellation - bored out to 750cc, wish I'd kept it
63 Austin Mini 850 - great wee learner car - gearbox failure killed it
63 Ford Cortina Mk1 1500 - heap of cr*p scrapped in 1970 when floor fell out (that's right - only 7 years old)
65 Ford Zephyr 4 - relaxed cruising passion-wagon with bench front seat & column change (ask your dads)
68 MGB Roadster - pretty nice, but had to hit the fuel pump with a spanner from time to time. Stolen after trade-in and found sunk in a Highland loch.
68 Rover 2000 - another relaxed cruiser. Had fun working out the tappet shim sizes.
75 Fiat 127 - felt faster than it was. Killed the engine when flat-out for 30 miles to see my son being born.
78 Opel Kadett - 1st New car, new family needs new car, kept it 11 years.
?? Honda CB 250cc - transport to station and to work in good weather,
80 Rover SD1 3500 - badly-built big rumbler that succumbed to a terminal crankshaft oil leak.
79 Volvo 343 auto - worst car I've ever had. 1.4l Renault engine and rubber belt drive. Yuck!
91 Citroen BX 1600 - quite cool, although demonstrated "galleon in full sail" tendencies when cornering.
98 Ford Focus 1800 - decent spec, decent price and did > 100,000 with little trouble.
07 Honda Civic 2.2 - simply wonderful engine!
