We got a 18yo fiesta in the workshop thats not too rusty (Just enough to fail it MOT

) and a 16yo one where the bit under the bumper is almost non existant!
Not as bad as some of the cars weve had, on a wet day you can almost hear it

And only 2 of them are on the road

It's not even year ago that I did see TWO Mk1 Fiestas and cars do rust really fast in here so really can't understand what has done to those...
I think there was some even worse things with f***s than rust, some unreliably it was called

Volvo 343DL vario -81 -running-

Volvo 240 Diesel -83 -undecided-

immaculate Austin Montego!!
Those things went rusty before they left the production line! The owner must have shares in waxoyle.

Oh yeah! Sorry about that.

I had a montego ( given to me ) and just this morning I saw a Maestro in the car park at Mk shopping centre and another one on the way home
( bloody things are breeding ) ,
My mate has just told me he has got a marina /ital with a genuine 27,000 miles on the clock stored in his grans barn parked nex to his toyota celica carlos sainz rep (bastard )
I read somewhere that the marina is one of the lowest surviving registered models of car ( i.e. not many left )
and I am only 47 physically , mentally I am 21
