Best car we ever owned was a 1979 Morris Marina in harvest gold which Ann owned when we first got married. It eventually got uneconomic for us to keep it roadworthy and we passed it on to Ann's cousin who restores classic cars. Sadly someone stole it from him and wrote it off. I also had an old Land Rover which was rough and ready but great fun, but only did 18 miles per gallon and eventually became unreliable. Now we have a modern French Renault Kangoo Trekka, small 4x4 which is more practical. One of my friends has recently purchased a 1965 London Routemaster bus, which despite its large size and having seats for 64 passengers actually does 12 mpg, and I was away for a trip with him on it yesterday - now that's a vehicle that sure turns heads, whether in town traffic or bowling along the slow lane of the motorway at 40mph.
