Talking about more enjoyable motoring.
I recall around 1960 having a 1950 series 1 ragtop Landrover and going on holiday to Loch Lomond from Birmingham.
It required a very early morning start and it was late evening before we got to the campsite.
In later life there was a couple of further Landrovers, several Austin Metros/Rover 100s, then a Freelander, before moving onto what is now my 4th Jazz, in which I would have no hesitation in repeating that journey today and I guess probably much quicker.
