It's a bit wobbly, and I'm not keen on heights!

Not sure about "aspire"......must be difficult to "respire" at that level

They don't make 'em like that any more. Unfortunately, I am old enough to ahave driven a few Vanguard Standards as a motor mechanic in my distant youth!:smileysad:

Yes it has been mentioned a few times!!

Insultant - I like that.

I had a Standard Vanguard, loved it, but it used to get stuck in first gear at embarassing moments, like trying to beat someone away from the lights.

Wouldn't have paid more than about £45 for it.

My pal had one for a couple of years and didn't know it had overdrive on third until I found it for him.

Hmm, I'm a Strider but doesn't really reflect the love of Mod14 on my account

The mods all have names now and talk to us.

Perhaps I haven't been paying full attention here, I knew we were losing the superuser hangout but I was not expecting the superuser to be affected by the new ranking.

Think I'll take my bat home.
