as an aside, i was at a car rally on sunday, what with it being fathers day, i went by myself.
lots of cars old and new, including an MG Midget just like the one I had, with the clothes peg in the same place. thanks to the nice old bloke who let me sit in it, not that he will be reading this, but....well....i should have stole it. apart from that my fav car was the escort mexico. very nice.
