My first car mick and what a shed 😆

I had a mate ( well he still is ) who was a rep  for an advertising firm ( printed adverts ) His first works car was an HA viva . He put a brick on the throttle and walked away until it blew up .

Vauxhall Victor estate before that, gutless rubbish as well.

Dropped the box from forth to second racing one and the boys and blew the rear box up and that was the end of the viva. Morris marina 1.8 coupe and big step up

We did that to an old 205 diesel we had as a hot rod in a friends forestry. After waiting in tense anticipation for well over an hour the feckin thing ran outta fuel.

Would probably still be going if the tank was big enough!

My first van was a Vauxhall HA van, 1275cc engine iirc, bloody loved that van. If I could have that van with the 1.9d engine from my old citroen c15, it would be unbeatable.

Mate had an ex GPO HA van, you could rev that until valves bounced!
