Very small…I struggled to get in and out at 6’2" but the driving examiner was about 6’5"…he had the clipboard on his knees, just under his chin.
If i’m being honest, it’s the fact that it’s small and almost toy town looking that i like. I’m a short arse anyway so no problems for me, although my daughter would ridicule me if i drove one(almost a good enough reason to buy one).

SoS - upvoted for your reasoning for buying one…(man after my own heart) - not for being a shortarse

Embarrassing the children should be a highlight of any self-respecting parents day.
I’ve had a look and to my delight they even made the Wallace and Gromit van. I could see myself in this, with my fishing rods tied to the roof rack.

It almost makes me want to join Nigel Fararge back in the 1950’s

I like to think I’d struggle to embarass anyone in my classic…even with the site software sqashing it up.

LITSL when you link a photo change the dimensions of the photo, I always make sure that the first dimension is 600 or less, the other number will magically be calculated when you move out of that field. And ensure constrain proportions is checked

A Karmann? Probably cost more than a new car now. Very eye-catching car.

Not a highlight, a duty

Yep a '58 VW Karmann Ghia Coupe. A decent pre 1960 Karmann Ghia is now very hard to find for less than £20k
Thanks Bob…so “600” is the magic number.

13th November 1982.
Good to see this now as I was at the game, but was so pissed by mid-afternoon that I had retreated to my seat in the stands. I then slept for an hour and missed the 50 last wicket partnership. The pitch invasion and the ensuing puch-ups.
When I woke up, I asked my mates what had I missed and couldnt work out why everyone was laughing. Had to wait to see it on TV in the evening. The atmosphere for the rest of the game and in the town night life was pretty toxic.

# AFC and # SaintsFC agree a £60,000 fee for ex-England captain Alan Ball, who will sign for the FA Cup holders tomorrow

£60 grand, that’s mental. I assume that wasn’t per week
btw Bob, not sure about the new avatar. I’ve always associated you with the happy little chappie with the Saints shirt and xxxl baseball cap. The new you seems kinda glum !!
I hope your not getting all stressy because Puel’s turned out to a completely useless fucktard and we’ve gone all shit and we’ll probably get relegated now.

Tuesday 3rd January 1967…50 years ago today I started a career in Cartography.
Tom Jones was at No 1 with “The Green Green Grass of Home” and Jack Ruby…the man who shot, the man who shot JFK…died of natural causes.
