Hey

So just looking at YouTube. Some program on Thames TV called Drive. They are testing cars from 1977. The Fiesta, Renault 5 and Polo are being tested. The guy seems very enthusiastic about the cars are specs. The polo comes with a heated rear screen as does the Fiesta. The Renault 5 gets electric screen washersπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.

I wonder how the spec of an XC40 will be judged 43 years later....

Speaking of changing times.
My first car was a 1967 DAF 44. Amazing specs..... 2 cyl air-cooled 34HP flat front engine; auto transmission (Variomatic), first ever CVT!; 2 door RWD; no power anything: and Dutch!
Loved that car!!
