Little Old Ladies...god bless 'em

[White trash]

Ah. A Mk 2 Viva , no doubt.

When I think "Vauxhall" (sp?) it always conjures images of the PA with the wrap around windscreen you'd 100% of the time clout the corner of with your knee trying to get out of the thing.

Worse, if you bent over to pick something off the driver's area floor (such as part of the gearchange mechanism) you'd clout the back of your head on the pointy bit. DAMHIK

Spelling is correct - they were the big deal car once upon a time...

So, tell us, WHICH Vauxhall?

Nah, bought a VR 215 Senator

Not really. Dad had a PB Velox when I were growing up and I found a PA in a barn or something a few years ago when I was searching for a classic car, I remember him telling me about them and the knee cracking windscreen.

[MSTRS:Me]

Ah. I had a PB myself...nice car.

Really? I thought it was a horible piece of shit, and I was only 6 or 7 LOL.

For the times. For the times.
Also had A30's, Morrie Grinders, Humber 80's... The PB was a lovely bit of kit.

Perhaps by comparison to it's peers.

The Prince Henry, now that *was* a nice Vauxhall.

And apart from the stupid knee actions , the 16/6 was not too bad. Some folk objected to the engine driven windscreen wipers, but I thought them well enough.

I just can't wait to be a little old lady!

I will drive through every kind of intersection as if it's not there, and drive at a constant 70kph whether I'm on the open road or around town or driving over a pedestrian crossing covered in school kids (kids these days need more exercise anyway... it will do them good to jump out of my way).

In my car I will have a yappy little terrier named Rex who will be my constant companion and only friend. Rex will never criticise my driving!

And when some rude biker tries to remonstrate with me, I will call him 'Dear' and hold my hand up to my ear as if I am trying to hear him... but bikers make no sense so I will just pat him on the arm and say "Yes Dear, lovely day for a ride!"

Everybody will love me, I will be beyond reproach, and I will crochet doilies for all of you for your birthday.

Hey, if there are any current vacancies I would like to apply!

I can answer to Rex, sit, roll over, beg and fart on command already and I'm house trained! (done a course in all that)

Any day is a lovely day for a ride and then we could go out on the bike too!

Shall I PM my resume?

[ManDownUnder]

Merge like a zip, when the traffic flow in both lanes requires it...

I got mine merged in my zip once - metal teeth too... I was only 10 and can remember it to this day...

[MSTRS:Me]

Not at all, not at all. I was very polite and not at all vindictive...I thought my original post made that clear...but perhaps it didn't. There was no agro involved at all.

haha... yeah I know. It sounds like you dealt with the situation in a very sensible and respectful manner. I wish I could be so diplomatic ! ...... I was just taking the mickey....hence the banana dance at the end
