GUEST,Mullah Musket BS: Islamic radicalism . . . (1466* d) RE: BS: Islamic radicalism . . . 10 Jun 14

I used to have an Austin 1100.

Well, the log book said it was a Morris 1100, but the dashboard certainly came from an Austin because it had the red ticker tape speedo. The rocker cover was Vanden Plas. Dunno about the bodywork. there were very few areas where a magnet could stay attached if truth be known.

I bought it at an auction in 1981. I bid £20.00 but it failed to meet a reserve. The auction house had me speak with the owner and we agreed £25.00 to allow him to pay the commission and still get a pint out of it.

Lasted me till 1983, so it wasn't that bad. It tended to point towards Mecca a lot, but that was possibly due to worn bushings and bad tracking. It got stolen once, and after a fortnight, the insurance were all ready to cough up their estimate of value, (£300.00.) I was getting all excited when I had a call from PC Plod. It had turned up.

Bugger..
