Forgive me mate. It’s an age thing or a frustration thing or just the bloody red wine.
By the way, a great point today but so annoying it’s not three again after taking the lead twice. These were the days.Great picture donny.
Do you ever get the same feeling walking to the DW as you did walking down 1st, 2nd or 3rd Avenue?

Nope. Looking over the soccerdome fields towards Beech Hill isn’t the same either.

I had two of them back in the day, you would have thought I’d learn my lesson after the first.
My 2nd one was a Vanden Plas, so it was a step up, if that’s possible with an Austin Allegro.My dad had Austin Aggro (as we called them)……come on lads.!!,I bettered that…..Austin princess …..spent more time getting bus to work !!!
I had a couple of Metros also, now they were terrible cars.
How on earth were Metros, Allegros, the Princess and Ambassador allowed to be sold.
Not forgetting the Morris Marina and Ital, its no wonder the British Car manufacturing industry secummed to Datsun and Toyota.I dont know about that lol..I remember getting in the taxis from newton rent a wreck.fec me they where all datsun s sheds off the highest order.id would off preferred a skoda before a datsun cherry.
My first car was a Morris Ital, the car that finally killed Austin Morris.
I had a special name for it but I couldn’t type it on here!
It had a manual choke, remember them?

PS I too had a mustard coloured Allegro with brown vinyl roof given to me by my dad. I always did get the impression he didn’t like me.
Then upgraded to triumph Spitfire 1500 then a Stag. If I remember accurately the original Stag engine was replaced by a lot of owners with a v8 out of a Rover as the aluminium head was a nightmare and they were basically tripe. Spitfire was ace….unfortunately the Stag came with another bus pass for the journey to Lamberhead Industrial Estate every day. I just didn’t learn…..cool over common sense.

My mate had an Ital, that he inherited from his Dad, he used to say that he’d done 27,000 miles in it and reckoned he’d pushed the fkn thing for 23,000 of them !
