Growler Mivan?

Once you've had your life saved by ABS from some lunatic that tries to ram you, you won't easily give it up

Nutter just drove straight across a give way line and I just braked and steered round him with the ABS.  Didn't have time to think.  There's also a pedestrian in London that just walked out in front of me that walked away due to ABS.  Then there was that huge deer that just ran out in front of me - loads of roaming deer in Sussex, you just don't know how good a driver ABS makes you

Analog brakes = death

I know, I know. ABS is one of the few exceptions though, most of the rest is just tat and expensive shite.

On saying that, WE all seemed to have survived the non ABS era ey?

Can never see the attraction in owning cars that age.  Fun to take a ride in one that someone else has sweated over, quite like to look at some of them at car shows but I will never buy a car that hasn't got ABS.

I wonder what Lotus Cortinas go for nowadays?  Bet it's a lot higher but for its time jeez what a car

I know they weren't Lotus Cortinas but you mentioning them took me back to when I saw one of these "world cup" cars on the road around 1979 

Great pics, but the black and white one gave me goosebumps just now, some REAL football stars there, sadly at least two of them no longer with us

And then there was the Escort Mexico.  When you look at their specs now they were very tame but not for their time.  Love looking at them at car shows

Back on ABS (which they didn't have) one more story that may amuse

Not long after my first saved by ABS incidents I was driving Mrs K in her brand new car when phreddie the pheckwitted pheasant decided to nip out in front of us.  So I steered and braked hard and with no ABS skidded straight into the gormless pheckwit TWACK followed by SPLATt as the windscreen was obscured with rapidly expiring pheasant.  Car continues to skid along depositing
expensive Michelin lines on the road and inevitably expensive CRUNCH into fence.

There are two things you should never do to your wife and one of those is crash her brand new car, think she may now have forgiven me

And the other moral of this story is once you've used ABS you will always brake as if you have it even if that bleeding car didn't

Now back to the Growler Mivan?

Now back to the Growler Mivan?

And the second thing you should never do to your wife is?

I sit eagerly awaiting enlightenment.
