How about a Hillman Minx?
He certainly drove one when he was at Menzieshill H.S.

Hillman Minx it was Ken.

Hillman Minx, that was my second car and did I look after it!!!! Polished it religiously every weekend. Now I wait until my next door neighbour washes my car - as it lowers the tone of the neighbourhood.

My first car was a 2door Morris 1000. We went on holiday to Scarborough in it, thought it was a great journey and so economic, 48mpg. In retrospect, any speed over 60mph, you were rattled to bits. Great car though.

My first car was an 11-year old Singer Gazelle, very comfortable, front bench seat and gear stick on the steering column (whatever happened to that idea?)

My first car was a great big Rover. Leather seats, overdrive, wooden dashboard, spare tyre in the boot door, and very little brakes. Black paint with lots of chrome work to polish. Eventually scrapped for L 1.10/-.

One for you Pud. What was the car that Chic Ramsay drove when we were in 5th year?

That's an easy one to start 2008. It was an MG, and I think it was the TD.

But what colour was it?

Dave

Does that mean he had three cars or that the one car had three colours? Possibly two plus rust but I doubt it. I have a vague recollection of him buzzing about in a red open top.
