By gum would you have been the envy of your street with this turn out when it was new. A grand pair once again. Yet the value of a heavy Schmitt engine rebuild for the less handy. Slightly nutty old world really.

I bet Nick knows about the baby bath wings. Many of these things you just know or not and clearly it has never come up in family conversations. But the reason you know a lot is because of your early exposure to all these small cars. (Did Ant get you into music? She is very good). Clearly you then made a decision to embrace the subject and learn more. Could just as easy have thought, to hell with it, I am more interested in computer games or something.

It would be fun to organise a Monster Mind for Micro bonces to see who knows the most. It certainly would not be me. I see no reason not to celibate those who enjoy researching all this stuff but I fail as my attention wonders. Spanked bot and see the headmaster! Perhaps RUMcar might think about holding a quiz to this end as a draw to Jean's open day or the National or something. Need a panel to come up with a fair selection of questions though.

Depends if its about microcars in General, or only one make. some people like Peter Svilans know everything about Messerschmitts, I know a lot about Nobels (need to know even more!)

Jim seems to know a lot aswell.

Wonder who the biggest anorak is?  ;D
