Didn't realise Sainsbury's shopping trolleys were available in red

I remember the back seats feeling like deck chairs :eek; when I was in one in Tenerife.

Once upon a time........****'off it's no fairy story

I had one of them, Adam your a Star if that is your choice of vehicle. The scary bit in the corners is not a problem, it won't fall over, certainly didn't for me.

Recomended launch technique is to plant the right foot and sidestep the left foot (every gear), only lift the right when you need more brakes than the handbrake has to offer.

Watch the gate in the gearbox when ragging it away from the lights, 3rd to 4th can be a bit scarey when the car behind you nearly comes in the rear window when you've put it in 2nd

How much does it cost to brim the tank ?
Petrol used to slosh out the filler pipe onto my shoes when I put more than £10 in

thats 2 of my cars side by side in the last pic

The reason for it - the supra is turbos-less for now and the wee corsa is down in england waiting to be finished
