Mine was a '76 Gold Hillman Imp. Excellent car to learn to drive in. This led onto Imp powered kit cars (one of which I still own) a Maserati, and finally the 540. I think I can safely say without fear of contradiction, that the BMW is one of the best engineered and best built cars you can own. Andy West Midlands ------------- Badger540 West Midlands |

-'68 model mini van, ex AA patrol car, heavily and, uh, 'tastefully' modified mostly by a previous owner. -it was a rare thing indeed.....way better handling than the saloon model, with dry subframes (moulton suspension) and good weight distribution. Superb, direct steering, good pedals (& with dodgy synchromesh I soon learnt to heel and toe) it was only let down by brakes that faded under hard use. -had windows, seats in the back, chocolate brown (Ford 'Brazil' I think) metallic paintwork, 2" wheelarch extensions (blended and painted), matching brown shag pile carpet (told you it was tasteful...), 'magic wand' gearshift, electronic tachometer, crappy radio, stainless steel door mounted wing mirrors, obligatory green sunstrip, and an original 10" Moto-Lita steering wheel on a lowered steering column. And locks that didn't work- only a battery isolator and a hidden ignition switch saved it from theft. -sadly the stage 3 tuned twin carb 1275 & straight-cut 'box had to go- at 17 I was completely uninsurable with these installed. Ended up with a 3-synchro box, horrible wheel spacers (that broke!!) and a sweet, very revvy (but insurance friendly) 850 lump. Even with this tiddler installed it would wind the speedo needle over somewhere near to the 'E' mark on the fuel gauge set below the big central speedo. The tacho would be reading well over 6000 rpm at this point and the 'woooooooooo....' noise was simply unbelieveable- nothing like as bad as with the previous engine/transmission tho'..... -eventually after 4 different engines, 12 owners, 8 new sills, 4 new floor skins, 3 'A' panels, 2 fuel tanks, an unknown number of tyres, exhaust pipes, several accidents (ahem), and about 250000 miles over a total of about 27 years, it finally went off to the great scrappy in the sky. Although the car was no longer mine when this happened, I ended up with the steering wheel and the wing mirrors. Still got them in a box somewhere... -A Top Motor... Not one of the many cars I have owned (let alone the huge number I have driven) has had even a small fraction of the character and utility of that little car.... -now, a 'new mini van' in the same vein.....hmmmm, now you've got me thinking......

It's got a '65 plate because I couldn't find a photo of a '71 model. Simple as that. Why are you complaining? It's still an Imp. And it's still tax-exempt. (BTW, that last sentence does not constitute "advice" of the type regulated by the Law Society in the conduct of investment business) 
Excuse me; I wasn't born 'til '71, Mr. Advanced Driving Instructor. And with the treatment I get from you, I sometimes wish I hadn't been born at all... *deep, meaningful sigh* ...and, anyway, it's a bit rich coming from someone who goes off to play with himself in the woods.... -------------

First car was old Mini, scrapped after 3 months, then had Hillman imp, Black & gold, had a vulture sticker on front wings ! Also spare engine as they were prone to head failure & could swap engines in @ 15 - 20 Mins. Oh - nearside rear wheel fell off one day !

All this horsing around...makes such a refreshing change to find people with a sense of humour...specially a mod..now that is rare......
On the subject of Imps.... My sister had one once, her hubby (who couldn't drive) decided to be very helpful and fill the car up while she waited inside the car cos it was raining. Once filled up, he went and paid for the fuel. Of they went down the road and sister mentioned a very strong smell of petrol. She duly pulled over, lifted the front and low and behold hubby had forgotten to replace the fuel cap properly and the luggage space was awash with petrol.... Needless to say, her hubby was banned from putting petrol in the car from that day onwards

Seriously, I believe a sense of humour is essential for a moderator. I am only a moderator, nothing special, and I actually requested the position, I wasnt singled out and asked. My young daughter read some bad language on here and asked me what it meant, I didnt expect it to be here, as we are a family club. Although some will no doubt find our ramblings annoying, I think it shows us to be a friendly and approachable bunch, who like BMWs ( cars and motorcycles in general in my case), each other, and a laugh. ------------- Best Wishes Nigel |

Believe me Nigel..it really does make a nice change to have a moderator who hasn't had their sense of fun transplanted..
There are far too many moderators on other sites who lost their sense of fun when they got made up to moderator status, you may not think you are anything special, but at least you can have a laugh...and that is pretty rare with moderators...
