      Well, I think he had a bit of time for his dad. His description of booting that porker up the road to York at 170mph (Patagonian Special) so as not to miss his dad's passing. Good for you Jezza.

    My Dad worked for Goodyear in the 60's, mostly in the north, and so had both a 1300 and later a 1600. Then we emigrated to Canada and next thing he's driving a 1600 GT, with Weber carb and racing stripes. That's the car I learned to drive on, fifty years ago. Man, I would love to own one today!

    Lovely story. Old cars are awesome and so full of character. When I was barely old enough to walk and talk "properly", my Grampa used to take me into the local town, we'd stand in the centre of it and he'd point at a car and ask me what each one was and I got each one right. Even if they weren't good cars, they were still so unique and just cool in their own way. Unlike today where they seem to have been designed and styled by the same miserable and angry person =P

    I had a similar reaction when my dad came to our place in a camping site in one Summer (must've been 2003) after getting off work with the big Ford Transit and suddenly unloaded a double-suspension bike for me - After years riding a fully-rigid 12-speed bicycle, by then it was even a bit too small for my size, I got an 18-speed with front and back travel and I just lost it. It was probably a piece of shit, I don't remember the brand (and I know lots so it was definitely crap), but I remember that I could finally hit bumps and curbs like nothing.

    I remember when the 1600E came out (about 1968). It was, effectively, a 1600GT with "accoutrements". It looked very graceful and you could turn up _anywhere_ and not be ashamed. It was, sort of, an oversized Radford Mini Cooper. All male teenagers saw the 1600E as a car we could aspire to and have a reasonable chance of attaining. We all wanted Ferraris but, deep down, we knew this was a pipe dream. Not so with the 1600E. It was fast, luxurious elegance and was a realistic proposition.

      I quite agree, The Grand Tour was the ONLY reason I got Amazon, and I have not viewed anything else. BUT the subscription is still great value for money.

      They still produce The Grand Tour. All they do is ditch the tent and just do all of the episodes as specials.

      bnctaj It was continuously phased out anyway. This season had no tent at all almost every other episodes. And when it was, it was way shorter than previously, mostly the conversation street and that’s all. So it is only a small step from here to eliminate it completely.
      I will miss the track though...

    And the guy who likes comfort and taking it slow and logically (James Goddamn May), jizzed in a Cortina.

    When I was a kid, my dad picked me up from school in a white Honda Civic automatic, reg JSN 290N. 3-door, tiny little car, he'd bought it from the guy upstairs (who wanted to go back to motorbikes), it had a black interior, black fluffy seat covers, a cassette radio and my siblings and I were so small at the time that you could easily fit the four of us in the back of it!
    Probably a horrendous car to drive then and now. But from the minute I laid eyes on it I loved that car so much, if you offered me one now I'd snap your hand off.

    My Dad bought a Lancia Thema Turbo, when he had his mid life crisis. It was absolutely mint when he sold it about 5 years ago, you could eat your dinner off the engine. He offered it to me, but it needed a clutch, and I had a modern car, so I didn't take it. He passed away last year and I find myself wishing I'd taken it on.
