And they were a lot of fun to drive - you felt you were going fast even though you were not! Unless. of course, you had the wind behind you.Share my Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817611851604816123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3303423379889764602.post-28104786934073196102011-08-07T13:12:00.417-07:002011-08-07T13:12:00.417-07:00I always thought it was funny that loads of learne...I always thought it was funny that loads of learners who just passed their tests in the 70s had them as first cars.
