Subject: Re: [newmellotrongroup] at least it's British (I think)

Anglias look nothing like this.They were 1200cc engined pootle-abouts
with bizarre fins on the back wings and looked like they were built for
the senses-numbed-over-60s rather than speed.

I should know. When I was about six I drove my bike into a parked Anglia
and managed to dent the front offside wing. Quite a feat on a Raleigh
Convertible. The owner - a complete twat, incidentally - told me that it
would cost me five shillings from my pocket money to get that problem
sorted. I genuinely thought that this was the price of a new Ford Anglia.
