and we all know that 6 inches matters.

Not on a metre rule.

I know, I makes a big difference in some areas.

Which reminds me...

Why are women so bad at parking?

Spoiler

Because men keep telling them that this distance

is 8 inches

And felt like a mile wider too - but I’d settle for a Maxi, nice car.

I had a Maxi 1750 in blue with a tan interior. I thought it was a large car at the time but when I saw one recently I was surprised at how small it was compared to today's cars.

That’s right the Mini, 1100and Maxi models all look much smaller if seen on the roads today. They seemed correct in their day, it’s as if the scale has changed. We’re all driving our Dinky size cars and along comes a Matchbox proportioned Maxi (Apologies to all you youngsters out there who played with latter day toys )
The land crabs always appeared “fatter”, more imposing in their day and therefore stand out less among today’s cars.
I was talking to a couple at the vintage vehicle show at Thirlestane Castle last week. They opened the boot of their immaculate white Wolesley 1800. I was reminded of the Austin version I had. I actually used mine as more or less a van. It was always full of the tools, spare parts and plumbing paraphernalia as I drove all over. Somehow my favourite memories of that car are of serenely swooshing up and down the A68. What a machine. It was the nearest ice car I ever had that came close to driving like an electric (other than cost to run) It was very comfortable and quiet. The performance was pretty good and always felt as if it was well inside its abilities.
That’s why I think an ev conversion would produce a very fine result.
Is it really time to wake up now? Oh yeah I need to get ready to swoosh along to the fine Buttercup cafe in Doune to my lunch date with two beautiful ladies and one of them goes wild when she sees me
