It was my favourite car
back in the seventies, in Nottingham, a real banger but I loved it as it was my first. Quite an unusual mode of transport really but it was all I could afford in those days. It consisted of a Hillman Imp and a Triumph Herald, moulded into one. A good little runner for the price. It was a bit chilly in the winter as the heater didn't work and the windows wouldn't close but I wrapped up really well. After a few weeks of driving it started to have slight problems. The gear stick kept jumping out of its socket and landing on the back seat but I usually managed to turn around, grab it and push it back in without having to stop the car. Shortly after that it developed an oil leak so I had to keep stopping to pour in more oil which was quite expensive but not as dear as paying for repairs. I took all these things in my stride and had many happy months of driving until it packed in altogether.
