I once went out with a girl who sold Avon. She could make me shudder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Is that the same.
That would be Avon tyres then...perhaps the shudder was because you needed your wheels balancing!!!... >Martini... |

Hey, i used to have an MR2, (SW20) even after 10 years (not bad for an impulse purchase that I hadnt realised only had 2 seats!) I loved to see it as I passed a shop window!  - I literally cried when i p/ex'd it for a Corolla - Manchester insurance costs exceeding the value of the car combined with various maintenance/repair issues pending forced sale! F (p.s. i am not a hairdresser, just for the record!)  My MR2 on the grid back in 89. Great car. PS I was not a haidresser then either, far worse I was an Estate Agent! |
Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better.

I regret to say I do, and when they were in production. My only defence is that I was a teenager, or does that make it worse. |

The insurance companies were a bit kinder in those days, my first car was a Morris 1100 in 1974 (£40 FULLY comp), so looked at things like Avenger Tigers, 2.3 litre Vauxhall's, Mexico's etc and drooled. |

Probably the same loophole we used, where you could be insured as the main driver on someone else's insurance. The only fear was if you had a prang, your Dad lost his NCB.  Can't do that these days unfortunatly, I think the thought of facing my Dad if I had a crash made me more careful the first year after I passed my test. |

The Avenger is v cool, it's a close relative of the commer.
Not so sure about the Avenger, but the Plymouth Cricket I'll agree on. |

I know we were talking about cars, and my pal used to race round in his dads commer van, because he would not buy him a car. We used to hide in the back and sneek into Oulton Park, to watch Jerry Marshall and Gordon Spicer. Jerry in a dolly mint and gordon driving a capri. I alao remember when the British Rally was a rally not a trip in Wales, and they went around Oulton the wrong way, on there way to the Lakes.
Oh sh-t I am waffling again I only came on to ask what is the water supply like on HA, are there a few taps.
Thanks Mike

Mike there's the usual standpipes every once in a while, if you get there early enough (?Thursday am?) you may be able to camp close by (but up hill!!) of them |

I would like to say thanks to all of you, who have offered advice on camping on HA. I now have a confession to make. I have now managed to get passes to MB, which is were we stayed last year. I will come and visit HA, to meet you all.
Thanks again,
Mike
