Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

A friend of mine has had a Maestro 1.3 van for about thirty years. Nothing worth mentioning ever goes wrong with it. Good old A Series BMC engine again.Originally Posted by CageyH

It was the Austin Princess. They'd stopped using the Morris name by that point.
I think the last Morris badged car was the 1100 but may be wrong about that
I think the Montego replaced the Princess in the line up as the 'executive saloon' - compared to the Princess it was agricultural and very cheap and nasty inside.
Remember they used to do the Vanden Plas versions of the Princess and Allegro with the big Rolls Royce style radiator grilles? They looked ridiculous.

Yep, and the square steering wheel..
“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

I said I wanted one of these, Peugeot Partner Combi 2.0 HDi, picked up last night.
I now have three motors on the road. This is oldish, 2004, but only has 47k on the clock. No rust whatsoever and no issues of any kind. It drives like new and stomps along surprisingly briskly for a non turbo diesel. Quite chuffed with it actually. It'll be a good all purpose runaround, These things just don't wear out and are cheap to run.
Yes. I know it's green. I like it!

Those engines can have their problems, but get a good'un and they'll do star trek miles.

That's the Berlingo. They are to all intents and purposes the same vehicle.

...and these were very popular company cars at Jaguar in the late 80's, the old Maestro Turbo, 0-60 in less than 7 seconds...but unfortunately the chassis couldn't keep up with the engine, bit of a death trap!
