On a coincidental note, wife and I just started booking our holiday to Wales in June next year. I've not been for a while, but I do look over the sea from the north coast of Somerset to Wales oftenFingers crossed things keep on improving , but the doomsters are prophesying things getting worse in UK too . I will be well pee`d off if our Christmas vacation to Wales get cancelled again .
Were abouts are you planning to go ? Wales really does it for me and always has done since I was a lad , especially the Cambrian Mountains of Mid Wales and the more rugged mountains of Snowdonia . Cymru is God`s own country IMOOn a coincidental note, wife and I just started booking our holiday to Wales in June next year.

What the hell were they thinking with half vinyl tops?
It was considered cool and trendy in the 70`s like flaired trowsers , wide lapels and plantform soled shoes , and that was just the guys !What the hell were they thinking with half vinyl tops?
Driving in those platforms must have been a bitch.It was considered cool and trendy in the 70`s like flaired trowsers , wide lapels and plantform soled shoes , and that was just the guys !
The extra bulk of platforms added aditional pressure on the accelerator to wring a bit more speed out of my 1200cc Vauxhaul Viva HB Estate !Driving in those platforms must have been a bitch.
Walking in them was bad enough.
Is that why I sometimes see cars [at night] with no rear lights, but when you pass them, their headlights are on? Always newish cars. Why can’t they have have an audible alarm that tells you when you’re lights aren’t on and it’s dark?…there are warnings for just about everything else in a modern car and this is a fairly important safety matter!the worse 'fad' of all - permanently illuminated dashboards..........so every forgets to turn their lights on at night - and the daytime running lights give enough forward light to 'fool'the driver that they have the lights switched on........
They are a rare sight these days , like when did you last see one at a classic car gathering ? Rampant tin worm ate most them , mine was about 10 years old when one day I opened the bonnet and the hinges collapsed through the inner wings . At that point I thought it was due for the scrap yard !I saw an old viva two door yesterday. Looked a little worse for ware, but it was all there.
