1975 Morris Marina "Coupe" 1.3 Super

Post by Welly »

What is it with my local Tescos to keep producing such specimens?

Spotted this just now whilst shopping for a generic Chicken Salad sandwich (may contain nuts).

It's a "Super" although I'm not too sure what is/was super but hey...

Presented in pea-soup green.....(spot the D9) 8)

As a bonus when I returned Barry Corsa turned up (music-a-blastin) in his fire breathing, tarmac scorching 3-cylinder corsa (5-door FTW) :lol:

I thank yaw.

Have you just got yourself a new graphics tablet puggy? ;)

Has anyone ever noticed there's a strong correlation between make/model of car and the direction they park in?

looks like it's supposed to say 'happy' in a fixed-pitch font, but the idiot evidently hadn't figured out that forums rarely supply the option to have pre-formatted text, which is a pre-requisite otherwise you can't have multiple spaces next to each other - which is a pre-requisite for ascii art...
