      I had a cable tv Astra Van 1300 s Y reg fastest car on the road 1984/5 off the lights to 60 mph select 2nd, hold flat , dump clutch , goodbye 3.5 Rover bulletproof CV joints come to think of it the boss said" 9 tyres in less than 12 months ". I blamed the building sites I went on. I did have one puncture and only 2 new rears and Perrellis all round and handled it well because it was a vn and an S. We beat a 900 kawasaki through Cheddar Gorge then they gave . The new C reg van was soft as Crap so bad I went back to Australia I'm serious.

      In fairness it would have been nicked in the 90s too, junkies used to wait at traffic lights for women with handbags on the passenger seat and smash the window running off with the bag, then central locking came in and they just had to open the door, a mate of mine had his boot opened at traffic lights and they made off with his laptop.

Reminds me of watching road wars from the 90s. That's mad driving road with her handbag on the dashboard, no way are you doing that now in London.

    The lady in the mini, last one...filmed in and around Doncaster, the year I returned after finishing college. Somewhere in the background I like to imagine I'm driving around in my beaten up 1977 Volvo 343! Half those roads are no longer drivable and Donacster looks quite quaint, afraid that was it's heyday in many ways, not that we knew it at the time.

    Quite a fascinating insight into the honesty of people, they tell the truth about their motives. They want to fit a part, they want to be seen as an image, and they want to attract attention. And there's nothing truly wrong with that, in fact that's where our British eccentric culture stemmed from, people living up to a bit. Now we're all in jeans and hoodies, do and think the same, our cars are uniform and so are the individuals. And the language... What's happened to people's vocabularies and mannerisms?

    Love how they propagate the sub narrative of 'women drivers' being a bit emotive and practically inept at fixing some of the mechanical parts. Ie. the story/narrative of 'Leroy' car lol Just like 'meet my man' to the parents. ... a black car! matches the Black boyfriend lmao love how the social narrative pushers and Tavistock constructed stereotypes social divisions etc. Sounds like she's sexually attached to this element of 'freedom of speed' getting to her destination barefoot and in control Fantastic as a selling tool to get women in the drivers seat! and then demonising that years later with 'speed kills' etc! Following ALL the stereotypes and imagery of times.
    Brilliant look back!

Obviously some men do as well but I dont think its ANYWHERE near the scale shown here. Trust me lasses, 99.9% of men couldn't care less about who's driving a car. It's no different to all the lads who think everyone is impressed with their stupidly loud exhaust, it's just made up stories in your head.
