I enjoyed that! My husband had a 1934 Morris 10 4 which he bought for £12.10s and I learned to drive on it, .something of a challenge. We once crossed the Pennines in a snowstorm and the windscreen wiper packed up so it was hand-operated - by me. The floor was full of holes, mostly on the passenger side, and there were some tense moments in wet weather when we ran over puddles - splashes up the skirt spring to mind. The passenger seat fixings were also similarly dodgy and if Bob turned a corner with his typical enthusiasm I would be tipped over. However, that car taught me how to double declutch and despite many encounters with many cars we stayed married for 42 years. It must have been love.
We're glad you liked it, Judy. That's a great story about the snowstorm - we bet you were cold that day! And good teamwork on the driving - perhaps that's the key to a successful marriage!
@@classiccarbuyer352 Hi - another Morris story, same car: we had a puncture on the moors and I was given the task of rolling the tyre down the hill into Todmorden to the garage. Another freezing day but we warmed up in the pub while the tyre was fixed. Many cars in our married lives, motor rallying in Africa etc and I still have Bob’s classic BMW2002 Touring tii 1973 in the garage. Will be in touch.
It would have been more sensible if you had been given proper instruction on how to drive a vintage car and then you wouldn't have been making the comments that reflected your need for advice.
