This is the United Kingdom of 2008. We haven't done friendly since
1979. I used to have a 2L Mk3 Cortina Estate and lots of friends.
Didn't have so many friends when I sold it and bought a Lada.
You mean you were judged by the car you owned???
They were big cars. Almost Volvo like in their capacity
I know. But we've had - big cars in our family and it hasn't impacted on
our circle of friends.
You can do without friends like that, especially if they preferred a
Cortina.
The reps car of choice in the 70s
I know. And the scourge of the motorways. Having driven one I can understand
why - the throttle was very responsive and you needed self-control.
But being a rep. isn't a recommendation for friendship is it?
