17 and a real rot box it was. Can't really remember what it was except blue and I had put in a 1600 and an LSD.

No heater,
holes drilled in floor pan to let the water out (never really sure whether that worked),
A gap around the door big enough for me to throw a butt out - I kid you not!
Seat on three bolts, filler everywhere.
A real laugh to drive until it got know by the local constabulary then you couldn't fart in it without one of them sticking their head in and complaining of the smell.
Good memories. Still got some of the insurance docs were they tried to cancel my insurance over a changed engine. Notified by the RUC!

Never got anything more than a slap on the back of the head for baldy tyres (wire poking out) and now you get £60 for a yak on the dog. Bring back police brutality!
