Write Up Run Out in the Cotswolds 23rd April 2017

[Stevo7682]

I got a book at Christmas thats full of concept designs .
Some real oddball stuff in it some that made to production and othes that remain pipe dreams

 

[Stevo7682]

I always enjoy a day out there Steve £14 and visit again as many times as you like in 12 months

Thats a great price if you can visit more than once

 

[Low Rider]

I even managed to find a BMW

Not on event day though

 

[Stevo7682]

Still even at that if visited even twice a cracking deal

And don't forget, when the Ford Sierra came out, every one went 'Ooh, where has my square box gone'?

My first car was a Austin 1300 but this one is a concept car having a low front bumper to protect the guy who steps out in front of you with a frame which pops up to stop him from falling of the bonnet and getting run over

At least 8 I can count, what a bag of Botox they were, and I had the joy of working on them too.

My second was a Morris 1100 mate, good car if not for the rot factor. Very spacious and comfy ride thanks to the Hydrolastic system.

I'll have you know that I have fond childhood memories of the Austin Maxi.
My best friend across the road dad had one sitting in his drive for years we used to play dukes of hazard in it when we were young
Slide across the bonnet jump in the open windows ........aaah good times
