It's getting...

... more and more like Top Gear on here.

Just waiting for the inevitable first post by Jeremy Clarkson or Richard 'Evil Knieval' Hammond.

(P.S. I'm thinking of buying a Hillman Imp - anyone any Imp stories they'd care to share?)

Jeremys been on here to have a look. Don't know if he registered though.

I was in one that rolled over at 60mph down the A6 once. That was an Imp estate though. Aluminium head IIRC.

I knew a chap once who had a 2.8 litre engine in an Imp (for rallying).

He used to challenge boy racers at traffic lights...

After Jeanette Winterson got rejected from Oxford she drove down there in a Hillman Imp and banged on the senior tutor's door begging them to reconsider. It worked too, the spawny tyke.

I blew my Hillman Imp up on the M5.

I was doing 85mph with 2 mates in it at the time

My 1st car - happy days....

(it was a wonderful metallic sh1t brown colour...)

Easy to get the engine out. Undo seven bolts, disconnect electrics and push the car forward. Had to keep a 22kg sand bag under the bonnet to stop the front from blowing in the wind.


PS. "Man in the Suitcase" car.

I remember pushing my mates Imp around the streets of Fulham in the small hours, trying desperately to bump start it.
