Silly buggers! The sense of control you get in a modern car may be a little spurious....Dru Marlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697874363783821382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-52150843634080668032012-04-22T16:32:10.094+01:002012-04-22T16:32:10.094+01:00Yes but by choice mny of us woudl still opt for th...Yes but by choice mny of us woudl still opt for the odl wreck.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12577631984995202146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-66989677306089155202012-04-22T15:12:44.114+01:002012-04-22T15:12:44.114+01:00I have come over all nostalgic...I have come over all nostalgic...Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133031265351841626noreply@blogger.com
