The only people I've seen driving those are very overweight (usually) middle-aged women.

Are they thinking it will make a difference?

That's ok until the wheel bearings go and the wheel collapses or falls off!

Trunnions

Fortunately I never had to do this myself. Gearboxes, brakes and the odd bit of spot welding became my speciality.

I liked this bit:



Having had a couple of Moggies in my younger days, I understand where Tiff is coming from. Tail-out action came at slightly higher speeds for me

WHS. WIS. What the clever ones say, the ones who actually have some driving skill and are not posers or small-todgered. Capish Dim?

I liked this bit:

My old mate Tiff Needell, from commercial television, is perfectly capable of power-sliding a space shuttle but argues to this day that the most fun he’s ever had is in a Morris Minor, because it can be provoked into some tail-out action at about 2mph. So it goes with the Mazda. In short, you don’t need to be an astronaut with titanium hair follicles to get the best out of it.

Don't be ridiculous. Of course men drive these. Tough, manly types abound.

Hmmm, no good for me then.

[DimPrawn]

Is it only ladies who drive these things?

Nothing wrong with the MX5, Jonathon Ross has one in pink, so they must be good.

You realise he's quoting somebody you've held up as an example of somebody to be admired?

No he doesn't, because he's a fuqtard!

[sasguru]

You realise he's quoting somebody ...

Ad nauseum.

[Moscow Mule]

Well you sound like a repetitive and dull pub bore.

sasguru if you want my approval for you to trade your 1.0 Aygo,mostly driven by young girls, for a limp convertible that seem to be driven mostly by young girls, go right ahead.

They look lovely in pearlescent cherry.

It all sounds like the wet dream of a diehard, adenoidal car bore.
