When I was between "desirable" cars like my 1.0l Nova and 1100cc Polo Coupe, white, gold BBS alloys, golf ball gear knob Ker Chiiing! I also owned a S**tvet. It was my 2nd rear wheel drive car and bought for £80, I drove it for 2-3 weeks and always wondered about the very lively and quite unpredictable back end. It was whilst mending a hole in the floor with an old t shirt! that I discovered that 3 of the 4 leaf spring mounting points on the chassis had rusted through providing me with a 'Live' rear axle. Fortunately it was the winter, and I scrapped it after the snow melted, plenty of rear wheel jollies. I also lusted after a 1.7 White Clio, but it was just too good a car for my pocket. I'm sure many other members, like my self, could blab for hours with ditties about old cars. Whilst very influencial during my formative driving years, I don't miss any of them for a minute. Technology provides us with safer, faster, more reliable etc, etc, etc cars. Thank crunchie for progress!
