Cruise control on the M6. Came back from Lancaster today, decided I don’t like the M6 :headbang:
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.

Ah now, that's a bit unfair; this weekend, after much sweating, swearing, gentle persuasion and brute force, I finally managed to get both a pocket pack of tissues and a tube of Polos into mine!

Door pockets aren't much use in an E86 either - mine just about takes the locking wheel bolt key and an LED torch!

But at least I've got an overhead sunglasses ejector. :lol:
Coupes because stunning!
