I had a Metro Turbo... lovely little car when it moved..... I never caught a bus so much as when I had that car.
After having my van nicked I bought a Metro Studio to keep me going until I could afford my CRX.... it was a pleasure until some fúcker stole thst... Great little car.
Some pleasures are worth paying for, and we're only here once.

That truck I sold back a month or so ago got between 15mpg - 25mpg - so not completely off the chart

In Canada I had a big Chevy van with power steering. I'd never driven power steering before. At first I was over steering and all over the place. When back home driving my Dad's Orion Ghia was like driving a tank.
I remember aged 17 I drove my boss's Vauxhall VX4 90, first time I ever drove a car with servo assisted brakes, gave it a spurt, braked hard at the end of the road and ended up with my nose pressed against the windscreen.
