I was 'courting' (do people do that any more?) my now wife at the time and we lived 400 miles apart, so I needed an instand, cheap and rust-free replacement. So concludes the case for the defence!

To be fair, it never let me down and, when I got a company car, I let my wife have it. She hated it! So I bought her one of these:

Then an Escort estate and now a BMW mini. No expense spared for SWMBO!
It's ok Jim, we can treat this as a counciling session, let it all out, get rid of all that BL from with in, all those memories.... brown velour, rust and hydroelastic

That said i'm supprised brown velour hasn't returned to us being "retro" and all, i thought thats was cool now, retro that is not velour.
