No, it doesn't matter. I just thought the 2 threads could run together. People that posted on the first may not post on the 2nd so thought you'd be interested.

I wasn't having a pop. Just thought I was helping.

No worries bud appreciate the gesture, I have requested the thread to be closed as it doesn't make sense to run the same thread twice. Plus this thread has more pages

Wonder how easy the mods can add the posts of one thread onto the other. Be a shame to loose them.

[Dickie Fix]

Compared to many of you out there my list is rather boring, but just writing it has rekindled many happy memories:-

19 1963 Austin A40 (33k miles)
21 1965 Ford Cortina Mk 1 1500 Super Automatic (105k miles)
31 1979 Morris Marina 1.3L (26k miles)
35 1986 Rover 216S (76k miles)
41 1992 Rover Montego DSL (185k miles)
51 1999 Peugeot 406L HDi (91k miles)
64 2015 MB B200 CDI Exec Auto (7k miles)

Notes:

No, I’ve never changed my car on a whim, only when there’s been a need like family growth, rust, etc.

I’ve maintained all my cars myself and, except for MOTs, and only given my cars willingly to a garage on only a small handful of occasions in 46 years.

I have only been recovered by a rescue service 3 times:

Cortina – snapped timing chain
Montego – broken clutch plate spring
406 – failed fuel lift pump
